Resistance in a "this is democracy" kinda way is usually not a big and flashy thing. The same as one guy voting out of 150 million people voting isn't big and flashy in itself.
Huge anti-authoritarian demonstrations that fill the streets in Belgrade or Tblisi look amazing, but this not Serbia or Georgia.
The US has a third of a billion people occupying the third largest geography in the world. Not even Moses could get all that many of us together for a protest at a given place, at a given time.
But big and flashy things can come - are starting to come - from millions of barely-visible circles of friends who're doing what they can do, with what they've got, where they are.
