You have no idea how much I've read about the civil rights movement as a whole.
Fascists don't need anyone to play into their narrative. They will create it by any means necessary knowing that even if it's complete bullshit most will do fuck all about it.
In this country things will be way too far gone before you get enough people to participate to grind the economy to a halt. Some of y'all have way too much faith in your fellow American to do what's right.
I doubt that, because you are falling for the fascist playbook.
A) They can make up whatever narrative, but they do need others to play into it because otherwise they just look insane and fascists are incredibly sensitive to mockery.
B) If you choose violent resistance, it will alienate your fellow Americans unless you can completely protect them from your actions (like Lūîgï).
C) It takes a really long time for a complacent nation to be convinced that it is worth joining a cause. You need a lot of charismatic and intelligent leaders to convince them, like Bernie, AOC, David, Jasmine, Frost, etc.
Read. A. Fucking. Book.

If someone told me I needed to read a book about a subject in order to educate myself about the facts, I would ask:
"What books would you recommend?"
Because I actually like challenging my ideas.
