I just want action to actually DO something. Marches and protests didn't stop him the first time. They're not going to stop him now.
Strikes and boycotts, if large enough scale, have some teeth. Waving signs at some Capitol building or other is ultimately a waste of energy and resources.

In my view, protests can and do pressure regimes, provided they are large and unrelenting. There's a reason the police is used to break them up. They have a tendency to turn into riots and coups. This makes governments nervous, and that makes them more likely to capitulate.
We had a massive, nationwide protest in 2017. It did nothing.
Genuine question: how long did 2017's protests last, nationally? How disruptive were they?
