38. I am calling representatives quoting this threat & urging them to do all they can

to STOP him.

Given that his behavior has exceeded every rational limit in the past, I see no reason why we shouldn't all be panicking.

But our representatives have shown a remarkable ability to ignore our wishes in the past; so I believe the best remaining option is a General Strike & boycott.

The only thing TPTB care about is what's on their balance sheets.
