The people who voted him in are completely underwater in an ocean of perceived victimhood and exist in a state of existential distress and panic. Trump’s followers and the MAGA movement aren’t guided by morals or any particular set of virtues or personal conviction. They are victims of a culture war of their own creation and they are losing. They equate a the takeover of a sane government and righting-of-the-ship with death. They are not guided by logic or reason, they’re guided by fear.

You can’t look at these people and think “What’s it going to take?” As if there is some line somewhere that could be crossed that will change their minds. Thats not an option in the table. If saner heads prevail once again, it’s an indictment of their behavior and it means the death of the culture they’ve tried so hard to save. You wouldn’t look at a scared, cornered animal and ponder what it will take for it to stop being hostile.

On the other hand, it’s important to understand that the people who elevated this regime to power are not representative of “The American People” as a whole, and the American system of government was not designed to put the full faith of the people into the president for an entire term. The fact that the midterms are happening this year, halfway through the presidents term is not a coincidence, it’s a design baked into our system of government because the framers of the constitution understood that public sentiment can and will change more often than once every four years. And while it’s too early to know for sure, you can take solace in the fact that “the American people” have seemingly swung hard away from Trump since 2024, likely as a direct response to this administration, the same as last time.

Starvation. We know raping children isn't enough. We know that them breaking laws isn't enough. We know killing civilians on the streets isn't enough. We know disappearing people isn't enough. We know these people looting the country isn't enough. STARVATION - even then there will be some die-hard supporters of this corrupt regime.

Outlawing hamburgers.

American people to accept that violence is inevitable and to make the administration and oligarchs in general fear for their lives

If there are enough people behind it, all you need is a Non-Cooperation Movement.
The regime will just leave themselves.

Except that they learnt their lesson after the last time and divided people enough and indoctrinated enough of them to make this not happen this time.

If one just does not require to use currency for everyday life, they can do this very easily.

For this, you need to have small enough independent communities that can feed and tool themselves.

• This is also why Gandhi had to die as early as possible. He had the solution and was actively popularising it.
• This is the single biggest reason why zoning was an absolute necessity (and to justify that to normal people, they required factory emissions to be unbearably high) for Governments attempting to gain full power.

To prevent creation of independent small communities, multiple levels of separation and dependence are required...

Fossil fuel reliance cannot be eliminated yet, because that would enable people to power their appliances without connecting to state controlled grid. Only after every electrical convenience becomes cloud dependent (and remotely disable-able), can sovereign electricity generation be approved. To add to that, make sure that independent electricity generation setups are as complex as possible to reduce self-repairability.

Repairability of tools, in general, needs to be controllable. Letting that go, will greatly increase the long-term sustainability of non-cooperating small-communities and keep productive and a significant threat to the government.

Communication media need to be thoroughly controlled, specially for the kind that allows discrete communication (without disturbing all non-involved parties). For this purpose, a multi-level hindrance needs to be setup.

• make devices locally non-manufacturable
  • This can easily be done by making all EM frequencies that are easier to create devices for, regulated by the government
    • Regulation might only be required until there are enough government resources to effectively monitor all lower frequencies
    • This would be easier as the lower data rates available at these frequencies will not allow for extraordinary encryption levels
• hinder device repairability (already explained)
• reduce expected lifetime under the guise of sophistication
• allow easy killing of devices.
  • having a method to remotely brick these communication devices would reduce the requirement for expensive jammers (which might also hinder communication of govt. forces)

Destroy local workshops at all expense. Skilled labour has to be separated from their tools. The workforce can easily be given the illusion of owning their means of production with 0 threat as long as a distance barrier can be maintained from their place of eating and living. Also, keep them poor enough to be unable to afford even cheaper, lower technology tools for personal use.

• This can be done by eating away at their market by providing cheaper competing products
  • The expenses for this can later be recouped by price gouging after elimination of competition. Furthermore, by reduction of costs (and quality).

Farmers need to be kept as far away from consumers of produce, as possible. This, on top of outlawing small home-farming, would make all major food usage, state-dependent, meaning that denying to cooperate with the government will ascertain starvation.

Control farm workability by first, destroying the sustainability of lower technology farming and then separating farming technology from the farmer, using aforementioned toll (control measures).
[Bonus: added after relevant research opened up feasibility] Make the very base of farming, dependent upon external powers. Use GMO crops to control farm input. This way even if the farmers become willing to use extremely low technology tools to farm, they will have nothing to grow.

• implement this as soon as possible. Pit neighbouring farmers against each other, if required
• Use the terminator gene to instil the sense of non-ownership in the farmer. It can be phased out once it is popularised enough. Meanwhile look for a more cost affective method to allow termination of subsequent crops.
