The 3.5% rule is a concept in political science which states that when 3.5% of the population of a country protest nonviolently against a government, that government is likely to fall from power. The rule was formulated by #EricaChenoweth in 2013.

For all those hyper fixated on the 3.5% Rule, I would like to remind you of something Erica Chenoweth said "Among all maximalist nonviolent campaigns that did succeed, 83% did so without crossing the 3.5% threshold. #3point5percent #EricaChenoweth #NoKings #50501

One thing that’s especially disturbing about Trump deploying the National Guard to DC is that he’s specifically chosen to mobilize units from Red States.
This is eerily reminiscent to an authoritarian tactic discussed by #EricaChenoweth in their book “The End of People Power”.

Kick out a president without setting anything on fire.
Turns out, nonviolence works — better than bullets. Harvard data backs it up.
Protest smart. Call in sick. Collapse regimes.

Overthrow the Government with a Sign Not a Fight
If you need your government (or president) gone, non-violence is how to do it.

Why Civil Resistance Works: The Strategic Logic of Nonviolent Conflict – Erica Chenoweth, Maria Stephan
For more than a century, from 1900 to 2006, campaigns of nonviolent resistance were more than twice as effective as their violent counterparts in achieving their stated goals. By attracting impressive support from citizens, whose activism takes the form of protests, boycotts, civil disobedience, and other forms of nonviolent noncooperation, these efforts help separate regimes from their main sources of power and produce remarkable results, even in Iran, Burma, the Philippines, and the Palestinian Territories.
