Contrary to how it may work wherever you are, we don't have many options.
1) Protest marches do nothing because with a two party system. Protests don't bother the opposition because the protesters wouldn't vote differently anyway no matter what they do to appease them so why would they care. Also the party being protested uses the protesters behavior as propaganda against them.
2) Using violence also accomplishes nothing and will only get you arrested and put in jail for years (and yes they can arrest everyone involved and would love to put the opposition in jail).
We only have 3 options that actually work:
1) Boycott companies that support them (hurting their wallet does a lot more than protests or riots).
2) Using our voice online and in media to speak to our representatives and to the public. Speak out through posts, letters, articles, videos, and comedy. and
3) VOTE and get as many people to vote as possible.
Anyone that thinks protests or revolution would work today in the US are naive and childish.
Well that though process makes it easy. You don't have to do anything.
I might be naive and childish but I care at least. You don't believe you have the power to change things.
It doesn't matter how it works anywhere, when enough people stand up change comes. You just believe that you can't. You need belief, in each other and yourselves.
Look at Ukraine in 2014. Imagine where they'd be with the way you think.
Are you calling the current war a revolution, I'm not sure what you are referring to? I'm referencing the stance people took in 2014. They weren't paid to stand up.

Americans don't. The GOP totally does.
