Federal politics is too wide and deep, too insulated from the average person, and too corrupted by special interests for any realistic plan (like a protest) to have the required effect. At least, that’s my opinion. They’ll either just get dismissed as a bunch of know-nothing goofs and bulldozed a la Occupy, or they’ll be labelled as dangerous and cracked down upon with passion a la BLM.
My best, most actionable and practical advice is to write off the federal government completely. In my mind, they’re essentially an occupying force at this point. Instead, focus on forming local networks and connections. Go to city council meetings, go to local advocacy groups, push for change that you want to see there, and organize with other folks there.
