The Democratic senator Ruben Gallego has proposed that, should Donald Trump try to sabotage the midterm elections, Americans should respond with a general strike that would “grind the country to a halt”.

Earlier this week the US president called for Republicans to “take over” and “nationalise” voting in at least 15 unspecified locations, repeating his false claims that elections are plagued by widespread fraud.

On Thursday Gallego, a senator for Arizona and an Iraq war veteran, warned that Trump could seek to interfere with the November midterms that will determine control of Congress – and urged citizens to fight fire with fire.

    My partner and I are seriously talking about putting things in place so we can ya, have a couple options, some better than others, some more expensive than others. Looking at Costa Rica and Panama, Portugal is a high contender, potentially Mexico. I’d love Thailand or Vietnam also. Definitely expensive though, and we have prep work, but we are going to play it by ear and make sure we have options. I’m a combat vet and engineer, and she’s a former teacher and now an electrician, I think we can probably find work, even if under the table to get by wherever we go.We are pretty resourceful.

    Using LLMs is a great way to get a sense of what visas might work, timelines practically, costs (though definitely expecting 25% or more than what it estimates)
