Any suggestions? Seems that some of my triggers may be happening already. Perhaps we can go with:
1. Global economic collapse
2. WW III
3. Major Pandemic
4. Martial Law declared (might be too late)
5. Elections cancelled
6. All of the above.

I already don't have a full time job. I've used a bit of that job search time to participate in protests and call my reps.

It'd be useless. What we lack in power we have in numbers. Protests only work as a collective action.a collective action that can kick out bad reps and replace them with ones who will do their jobs.
At what point will I stop going to your job, if you have one, and take to the streets instead? What has to happen for you to do that?
Come up with a serious answer. Write down the answer. Put it on an index card or other prominent place so you will be constantly reminded of it.
Now read the news every day. If the thing on your index card happens, take to the streets. Even if you are the only one, do it anyway.
