Americans are brainwashed to believe that there’s only one particular and specific way to protest, and beyond that all you can do is kill people.

They haven’t yet realized that there is a huge swathe of options in between, and it requires no organization or depending on others, and no violence against anyone. You can just quietly do stuff. Probably less risky than doing anything publicly in a country with ubiquitous surveillance and the law no longer matters. Protests are great for showing the level of public support for a movement, but if the government doesn’t represent the people their effect will be minimal for producing real change.

There currently is no cost for ventures into fascism. Make it so expensive they’ll think twice next time (if there is a next time.)
