What are you expecting in terms of "broad and public resistance"?

At the very least, a general strike. That's absolutely the bare minimum that should be expected of the 94% of US citizens that do not support this regime (as is the claim upthread).

Not parent, but while I agree with you, I have very little faith (virtually none) in that happening. Most people are in a week-to-week or month-to-month financial situation; so, even if the desire & political will were to manifest, most people literally can't afford to strike.
If it's true that history repeats, the rational thing to do right now is to lay low, take care of those nearby, and wait for an external rescue party
