Non-violent civil disobedience only works against a government that is rooted in Christian thought in the first place, because the political purpose of the civil disobedience is to shame the power into following its own stated beliefs. That is why Gandhi was able to overcome the British, Mandela the Afrikaaners, and King the southerners. It didn't work in Hungary in 1956, or Czechoslovakia in 1968, or Tiananmen Square in 1989, because the Soviets in the first two instances and the Red Chinese in the third did not care what they looked like to the rest of the world, and in any case they were adhering to their sworn ideology.

Our civil disobedience will not sway the Alinskyites in power. That doesn't mean we should not engage in it, only that we should have no illusions that it will sway the powerful. It is possible that it will sway some of the population, just as Christian martyrdom swayed some of the Romans in the 200s or some of the Japanese in the 1600s. But Jesus does not call us to be successful; He calls us to be faithful, and the rest is up to Him.

Not true, just a cop-out.
It worked against non-Christian communists in Poland, and again in Soviet Russia. It worked in Egypt against the Muslim fascists led by Morsi. The people of Cairo had 10 times more testicles than the people of the USA.

Bingo. The regime’s biggest enemy is the American people who disagree with them. Not radical islam, or economic chaos (that they created). They are well organized and are attacking every foundational institution that made our country great. This is what a community organizer does and it is the reason baraq was selected for the presidency. They have no regard toward what the outside world sees, because their mission is much larger than that. They are working to fundamentally change this country and are succeeding. We will have to trust that our maker is watching out for us, because no one else is.
