I don’t know how effective mass protest is unless it is at the steps of the capital in DC. This country is too big. It is prohibitively expensive to travel all the way to DC for a protest. Then even the peaceful protests lead to violence from the police and get people killed.
There’s a point where you are bombarded with horrible atrocity after atrocity that the protests all end up being about 10 different things and there’s never a unifying message.
The only nonviolent thing left is a general strike but most Americans are just one missed paycheck from homelessness so nobody is willing to take that chance. The capitalists have effectively neutered all chance of revolt or change in this country
