Which is why your suggestion iiiiiiissss . . . ?
Do the protests, but during a work day, together with a general strike
Well, on the calmer end of the spectrum there's things like a general strike or Federal tax boycotts. On the more extreme end you haul out the gallows and support civil war. None of these are fantastic solutions, they all have their own issues, but it's not exactly a 'neat and tidy' problem you're facing. Things are going to get messy either way, they already are.
I'm not going claim to have all the answers to Americas problems, but I can at least recognize what's not working. Something needs to change, because the current trajectory is catastrophic.
Certainly not to brag about your failure and act as though a few weekend sign-waving parades means that you've done all you can.
