We are beyond ready--- we are anxiously awaiting the call.

It is pretty apparent that, for the forseeable future, Congress will not remove Trump. They will not convict him if impeached and they will support him in the highly unlikely event that the 25th Amendment is invoked. But,----

If, say, the Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers and the banker's groups and Big Ag and Big Pharma and the Waltons, Kochs and Adelsons of the world were to DEMAND that Trump be dumped, the Republicans would find that demand difficult to refuse. And, why would all those factions make that demand? Only one motivation is possible: they need to be losing lots of money each day he remains.

I am aware that "everyone" says that a national strike and boycott would be "impossible". Isn't that what was said about a Trump presidency?

We need leadership and we need organization, but we could put the Congressional Republicans in a vise. The "there was nothing else we could do" excuse is not available until we've tried everything.
