The time for the revolution is here. If we wait for the 2026 elections, it will be too late. There is no ambiguity here. He has made his plans clear and his minions are busy making it so. If we wait for shaking in their boots Republicans or hold the line, middle of the road Democrats, we will be under the boot!

Don’t get me wrong, I hope the revolution is peaceful. I hope it will be televised. It needs to look like tax reform. We need healthcare. The economic system is upside down. Elon should pay for our healthcare. Mark should restore funding for NPR and the Arts. Jeff should rebuild our infrastructure.

There will be no peace and no equity unless we can overturn capitalism and restore the working class. People should not have to juggle “gig” jobs by the dozen just to survive. Families who need 2 working adults are often families who need day care. There is no earthly reason for people to die to give billionaires and trillionaires another tax break.

What we need is a general strike. I know, that’s scary talk but we don’t have time for fear. Ideally, Labor Day should kick off a weekend of celebration of working people. Tuesday after Labor Day should be the first one day strike. If everyone who’s feeling under the boot joins, it will be powerful and it will help us to overturn Trump and the oligarchs.

John Mayer might be waiting on the world to change, but I’m expecting it to burst into flames presently.
