Marches, rallies, and speaking out are all part of it, but not the sum total. They have to be loud, consistent, grow larger, and be peaceful. Protests and marches were part of attaining women's and black voting rights, women's rights and civil rights in general, gay rights, union rights, handicapped rights, ending the Vietnam War, and abortion rights (when they were there). Protests increase visibility and reenforce the message. They add pressure. They have to be organized and be part of the effort. Protests are one of the voices of the people. But yeah, they don't change things overnight and can't just be one-offs. The people being quiet and not loudly and vocally demanding change, is what will not change a thing. Other things could work as well, including large scale boycotts and especially strikes.
Mobilizing voters and better candidates are important too. But the next National election is 18 months away. Look at the chaos and government destruction Trump has caused in just 3 months. We could have swastikas flying over the White House and Capital (metaphorically, if not physically) by that time. There might not even be an election. So do register and mobilize all you can. But again, that's a year and a half away.
Being silent and waiting for an election that might not happen or be rigged, is not the answer right now.
It's up to the people now to demand this fascist slide stop now, because it could be the last chance.
