General strike when >50% of those who voted wanted this? What world are you living in?

Edit: I stand corrected, 49.81%. It doesn't change the point much. Especially when that ~49% includes many "working class"[1] voters. Who's going to participate in this general strike? A bunch of office workers?

I suspect much less than 50% actually wanted legal residents of the United States disappeared to El Salvador.

Also, research tells us that it only takes 3.5% to overthrow a government.

You're describing a coup or revolution. Isn't that highly anti-democratic considering this president just won an election? Why should the 50% be under the thumb of the 3.5%?

And just as just, violated his oath to the constitution. How long, precisely, should we allow him to violate his oath and our rights?

If the 50% can't or won't promise me that they won't ship me to El Salvador in a few years, I don't much care about abstract political principles until their power is broken.

49.81% of the people who voted did so for Trump.
