(3,367 posts)I once heard a meteorologist explain that a hurricane starts when a butterfly in west Africa flutters its wings. That small flutter disturbs a tiny bit of air - - - which then disturbs a little more air and on and on and on until a Cat 5 hurricane slams into the US Gulf Coast. If you have never done this, do it -- during hurricane season, check the National Hurricane Center website daily and you will see the track of hurricanes -- they form as a minor disturbance off the western coast of Africa, gradually form into a storm, then a tropical storm, then a hurricane.
So maybe we need some butterflies. Maybe the same people who organized No Kings Day could organize a national strike day. No Kings Day grew to nationwide protests in over 3,000 locations. Imagine if we had 3,000 small strikes for two days nationwide. Then, a couple of weeks later 6,000 -- then 12,000 -- then . . .
Gandhi once said:
then they laugh at you,
then they fight you,
then you win!"
They are fighting us now -- they even murdered one of us a couple of days ago.
