Challenging Times and the Power of Resistance
These are terrible times, to be sure. But we will triumph.
A little over a week ago, more than 7 million people poured into the streets to reject Trump’s dictatorship, accounting for more than 2% of the adult population of the United States.
Historical studies suggest that 3.5% of a population engaged in sustained nonviolent resistance can topple even the most brutal dictatorships — such as Chile under Pinochet and Serbia under Milosevic.
This implies we are almost at the threshold required to effect significant change through peaceful means. Other evidence of the backlash against the current state of affairs is evident all around us.
