The only way to get their attention is to hold a general strike for more than one day, which would cause the stock market to fall or become unstable. Somebody suggested March 15th, the ides of March, as an appropriate date.

I am with you Gloria, bring the economy to a halt, even if it hurts you personally.

However the only way to collapse a dictatorship is from within, and that will take years as the internal contradictions and the power struggle among the factions takes place, the other way is from without, such as the allies did to the axis in WWII.

Trump and Putin are now the axis, and the only way to defeat them is by isolation, cut off all trade, cut off all trade with America. America can't build weapons without natural resources and foreign made parts.

We can only be saved from a theocratic autocracy by external forces. The same way that the axis was beaten.

It does appear that the people of China enjoy more freedom and quality of life, than will America under the dictatorship of Trump and his co consul Musk.

If you aren't cishet white Christian nationalist there is no place for you in this regime., and then eventually you will be merely a serf.

I would like to hear more about this idea, Gloria, and the specifics for how and why we should not strike.

It wasn't my idea, but it's a good one: Stay home on the Ides of March, don't work, and don't buy anything. In my opinion, staying home for more than one day would be more effective. A problem is that much of the population is already so poor that losing any pay is a disaster. People work when sick or when grieving. Too bad somebody can't distribute the food spoiling in warehouses and on the docks that isn't going to starving people in other countries. I hate to see anything wasted.
