Civil disobedience works. It's powerful but it's hard to do. Discipline absolute must.

When a cause is right, and you disobey unjust rules to make a statement without harming others, then you can sway opinions in your favor.

Counters their narrative that we are the troublemakers in society. And now, if Jan 20 happens like it's shaping up to be, then civil disobedience is very clearly a moment of 'speaking truth to power'.

Worked for MLK, worked for India independence via Gandhi, and it can work here.
