Have you seen how people online react when you float the idea of strikes (or really anything beyond parades masquerading as protests) as a method of resistance? The vast majority of Americans demonstrably don't care enough about fascism to do something about it. By the way the word isn't "oppose;" it's "overthrow."
The inability, for those who do want to act, to get together is a major hurdle. We're all surrounded by people who don't care or can't care. People wouldn't feel so helpless if they actually found each other and came together regularly to talk, share info, suggest ideas, teach each other. There's no reason a portion of the dem party cant self organize and start demanding real action, no party lines, no acceptance of the status quo.
It's these fucking organizers ISTG, I haven't seen anything serious planned except a protest at a park every 3 months. We saw how many people showed up to no kings yet the organizers behind no kings cannot be bothered to call for a strike or more frequent protests.
I mean, what makes those organizers special? They're just people who decided to do a thing; none of what they're doing can't be replicated by someone else. If the problem is the organizers, then you or someone you know should be able to organize something better.
