All of this hopefulness assumes they don't erode voting rights over the next 4 years. And they've had plenty of time to stage exactly that, including captured courts when anyone fights those new laws.
I've heard tentative plans for a mass general strike in 4 years. It won't be easy, but if they won't hear our voices, they don't get our labor. There's a lot of preparation to do between now and then, and we're going to have to look out for each other. But labor has more power than we realize if we just use it.
