The 3.5% Protest Rule That Could Bring Down Trump

How much of America would we need to mobilize to stop Trump's
power grab? According to political scientist Erica Chenoweth, it
takes 3.5 percent—the threshold after which every protest
movement, across the world, has been successful. Against the
backdrop of the anti-ICE and No Kings protests, the national
guard deployment, and Donald Trump's birthday pageant, Chenoweth
joins the show to break down the math of the 3.5 percent rule,
explain why nonviolence is the key to meeting it, and to share
the lessons the civil rights movement can teach us about staying
unified, organized, and disciplined in the fight against
authoritarianism.
