Obligatory reminder that the US is geographically monstrous and organizing a nationwide strike of enough people would be extremely difficult to pull off. We're also extremely tied to our employment for little luxuries like healthcare, and we have very weak worker protection laws, and right now seems like an especially bad time to lose your job protesting for the sake of the half of the country that absolutely loves what Trump is doing, whether they admit it openly or not.

Oh yeah, I know that. It was more just a weird feeling that I find it hard to describe. Like, it felt like I was existing within multiple different realities at the same time for a brief moment. Just my imagination getting carried away, like how familiar objects can look like monsters in the dark, even though we know perfectly well what they really are.
Pretty depressing all around, but man you have to be willfully gullible to believe you'd be talking to the actual performer...
I played Ingress a little bit before Pokemon Go came out, enough to recognize all the same physical locations were being re-used. I found it kind of uncanny for some reason.
Yep,the scam worked exactly as planned. If only they were half as competent at governing as they are at scamming their cult members.
