    The authors coined a rule about the level of participation necessary for a movement to succeed, called the “3.5% rule”: nearly every movement with active participation from at least 3.5% of the population succeeded.[8][9] All of the campaigns that achieved that threshold were nonviolent.[10]

        It’s important to remember that Trump isn’t the problem, he’s a symptom.

        The pressure needs to increase until the problem is solved.

          He may be a symptom but he is also a focusing lense, think of him like a magnifying glass starting fires. The sun is still a problem and the conditions for fire are still present but at the very least without the magnifying glass actively starting fires it’s a lot easier to deal with.

        You see the numbers that turned out for No Kings? Get those people to camp out in the streets and give it two weeks.
