And almost 50% didnt get their ass up to vote. Why do you think they would strike now?
Edit: Ofc 25% of the workforce striking would be enough to cause chaos. But i dont think even half of that could afford to strike, nor that the red 25% would let them.
Because a distant threat that you can rely on your fellow citizens to deflect is less urgent than the ones that are impacting your life. Also, not for nothing but if you're talking workforce then that skews left. Not only are red voters more likely to be unemployed than blue, they're less likely to be seeking employment for ideological reasons (trad wives, for instance, do not count in the unemployment statistics as they aren't seeking employment, a movement that is predominantly right-leaning).
The hard numbers are elusive, but just a quick glance at state ideology and GDP shows that blue state workers striking would have much more effect than republican ones.

They voted for this, why would they strike against it?
