There are a lot of illegal things you can do, and a lot of things republican supporters openly do that involve violence. I’m not going to openly implicate myself but use your imagination.
We still have, right now, completely un-used tools at our disposal, such as unionizing en masse and deploying a general strike, which is insanely powerful (capable of bringing a nation to its knees if done widely enough), while being far less dangerous and more appealing to the general populace than any other means.
Unionization en mass and a general strike are just simply not realistic goals in the current political and social climate in the US. And that half assed attempt at organization at that level is now going to get my country invaded.
Seriously. Fucking do something.
Yes, but all the people who could and should have prevented this did nothing. What would you suggest a normal person do?

There have been some successful non-violent revolutions in history, and there’s a strong case to be made that not exhausting those options could be a huge mistake.

It seems like a leap that people don’t have the motivation to unionize and strike, but would eagerly hop into a full on violent revolution?
Realistically, unless the military fractures or fully refuses to engage against this revolution, the best you’ll get are The Troubles.
Abbie Hoffman Is rolling in his grave from that limp arm suggestion.
I don’t see why he would?
Abbie Hoffman was not a guy to suggest non violent Revolution. Because he was not an idiot.

“Normal people” brought the British Empire to its knees and founded the very country you’re afraid to fight for.
You have the power to protest, strike, disobey. Organize and use it.
