What it will take to overcome this oppression is organized mass non-compliance. Patriots can take cues from Obama, the community organizer.
All politics starts at the local level. Some Small business owners in every community need to start taking leadership to organize all willing business to not enforce mask mandates, lockdowns, or vaxx cards. Once a majority do this, enforcement by authorities will be futile.
Until then, protests do little. Civil disobedience, mass non-compliance is the key, and this will happen only when they organize.
I was in chamber of commerce work throughout the pandemic in 2020. It would be a logical role for chambers to organize their small business members to defy the various mandates. But that will never happen. Chambers all across the country were the biggest cheerleaders for everything local health authorities wanted, serving as “resources” for small businesses instead of advocates. Shameful.
