Pray tell what citizens can do short of violence?

Every single day is five steps back and, if we’re lucky, one step forward - maybe.

I 100% disagree with peaceful protest and simply voting as a course of action right now. It merely slows the descent, it doesn’t stop or fix it.

Until billionaires and fascists in power fear for their lives or cease to exist, absolutely nothing will change. That is an undeniable fact.
