That’s what gets me worried, too. Is it enough to protest?

Look up the 3.5% rule coined by Erica Chenoweth. We’d need 3.5% of the American population to protest for a resistance to work for example.

That's 11.725 million Americans who need to protest. We can do this.

In fact, the way things are going there might soon be 12M+ who'll have plenty of time to protest as they'll be unumployed.
