Actually peaceful resistance is the ONLY method that has a successful track record. What ends up happening is violence gives fascists the excuse to crack down and the middle-road fence-sitters see videos of violent protests and side with fascism.
Did you know that MLK actually operated schools for his operatives where they would burn them with cigarettes so they could train themselves not to react when they did their sit-ins?
That is true self-discipline and that’s why their movement eventually won out. It took forever and lots of people sacrificed their bodies and lives and time but it changed the mindstate of the country overall to where actual change was enacted.
Trump was right on the verge of using the Insurrection Act, but one by one, every city he swarmed with ICE practiced non-violent reistance and eventually he had to pull them out with no dispatch of national guard. ICE walked away with their reputation stained forever because the protestors never gave them a video or soundbyte they could use against us.
We’ve got full on networks of anti-ICE resistance now all over the country, we follow the law but we make life very difficult for ICE and do our best to alert communities when they show up. We’re doing our best. The midterms are almost here and Trump has a record low approval rating, its about to be a wipeout and its all thanks to American democratic resistance.
