Let's boost this far and wide! Not interested in any "this won't work" takes - this is a battle of popular opinion, and if the public realizes that only 20 republicans stand between us and ending this crap now, that adds fuel to our movement.

Fascists are cowards, and republicans are getting yelled at by voters in droves.
Your cynicism has caused you to overlook the human desire to slink away from shitty stuff. Don't rule it out. This is a game of trying things that wouldn't ordinarily work. Whatever ends up working will be a thing like that.
Fascists are cowards, but they also love power and holding onto it no matter what. You yell at them and they just leave the room so they can pretend you don't exist, or start writing plans for how to make you not exist.
This isn't a game of throwing shit at a wall, this is a game of throwing shit in the face of the enemy. What works is what has always worked against fascists; Violence.
Protesting Nazis didn't stop Hitler. Diplomatic pressure didn't stop Hitler. Violence did stop Hitler, and Mussolini, and many other Fascists throughout history. Every time we tried to stop a fascist through peaceful methods, they stayed in power until they died of natural causes.
One Way Out, One Way Through.
