Wasn't there supposed to be some sort of amendment for that?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

How about just shut your country down? a mass protest or nation strike on every business and corporation.
Feed people of course and let food and water work as usual but every profit driven business is just stopped for a day or two.
I know its a pie in the sky idea and everyone will shoot me down as nuts but its the only tool that the public has against its government and corporate overlords.
everyone will shoot me down as nuts
Not really nuts, just infeasible. You would have to start with getting enough people to agree to the plan. Good luck with that.
Big project can't happen because it's big
Well at least you gave it your best try. I hope that give you comfort in the concentration camps at night.
Don't make up excuses not to try at all. Fighting fascism is hard. You won't win by making excuses that keep you on the couch.
And what exactly should I do? Keep in mind I have to work a full time job in order to not lose everything.
Its not nuts, but people in the US are already barely scraping by. Asking them to forgo further paychecks is a very big ask.
It's not nuts; this is literally how a protest campaign is supposed to work. Americans think it's nuts because they have like one meter of spine between them.
Start organizing with a purpose and goal of doing more than just standing around peacefully.
The answer is easy. But the conservative mods won’t allow such talk.
One guy tried, but he's dead now.
The rest of us are either fruitlessly bitching into the void, or actively loving the evil shit coming out of the Trump regime.
All our eggs are in one basket, and that guy might not actually exist.
Well that's kind of the problem, it was only one guy. We've somehow forgotten that there are over 300 million of us.
what do you think of the following key demands:
-
the federal government must not send any troops (military, law enforcement, ...) into the state without the state's consent.
-
people and organizations operating within the state pay their taxes to the state; the state then forwards the taxes to the federal government.
-
the federal government must never, under any circumstances, release laws that restrict or dictate the religious or cultural way of life of people living within the state.
I would only consider supporting this if we first dissolved the governments of Texas, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, etc. and put them under direct control of the federal government. Fascist state lawmakers are just as big of a problem if not an even bigger one than federal ones.
