Those non-violent protests shook them so bad they wanted to charge non-violent Quaker protestors with terrorism.

    I think it’s not really fair to compare 1940s India with current American politics.

    It feels somewhat like saying “the Mongolian army took over half of Eurasia with mounted archers, Ukraine should just use those against Russia!”

    It’s just not comparable, different cultures, different opponents, and wildly different technology. And this isn’t just the US, it is a worldwide class war. Organized resistance on that scale, especially when the ruling elite can monitor nearly 100% of all communication, just isn’t something that’s going to happen, even with a charismatic figurehead.
