You have 2 options realisticaly: move or fight. Soft-speech just let's them accumulate more power.
It would be foolish to fight before our most powerful non-violent tools are even tried. Businesses are already shaken up by the 1 day general strike in Minneapolis, we just need to sustain a longer one, look how effective it was in Chile against a violent government.
Do not be quick to rush into other means, especially when the enemy is already losing the optics war this badly, and thus losing popular support. Ideally you'd let them lose enough public support and generate enough public anger that you may even have blue state's national guard joining the resistance if things do become violent, which would be a great boon.
Remember, these tactics were far more effective in Nazi Germany because Hitler and the Nazi party were loved by the majority, to the point that Germans in positions capable of initiating a resistance chose not to, due to the reality that the party was so loved, the populace themselves would reject and destroy any resistance effort. That is not the case in the US.
