I believe the rest of the world is quite fine. And USA citizens are fine, too, or there would be regular protests everywhere I guess.

There are regular protests everywhere.
People on strike and picket lines every day.

Hard to make a difference if only 1% join. And don’t forget that the US has at least 50% of Trump voters. And as long as they keep on following their idol blindly, those peaceful protest will not change a thing.

Roughly 75% of adults are registered to vote.
Of those only half or so actually do vote.
Of those only half voted for Rump.
So were down to just under 20% of the US being Rump voters.

And what makes you think that all the non-voters are against Trump? I’m quite certain that of all non-voters, roughly 50% are still for Trump.
More voters does not necessarily mean a shift in distribution, unless it is a generational topic, where older people have more weight as they have more time to vote. But in terms of politics, age groups do not matter that much.
Does not matter if you like it or not. Fact is that roughly 50% of the US is pro Trump, which is why the peaceful protests are useless.
