@DataRepublicanf@monicaonairtalkgoal out loud.
A 22nd Century Initiative co-founder EXPLAINS the math: "it takes 3.5% of the public to engage in civil resistance in order for movements to topple dictators."
Indivisible's Ezra Levin ADMITS Chenoweth "has been the intellectual foundation" for their strategy.
Topple dictators. So who do they think the dictator is?

_____________@SenateGOP_weth** (born April 22, 1980) is an American political scientist specializing in political violence, nonviolent civil resistance, mass movements, terrorism, state repression, and democratization. They are a leading empirical scholar on the effectiveness of nonviolent campaigns versus violent ones.
Erica Chenoweth
They held postdoctoral fellowships at Harvard. They joined the Harvard faculty in 2018.
### Current Positions at Harvard
Chenoweth holds multiple roles:
- Frank Stanton Professor of the First Amendment at the Harvard Kennedy School (HKS).
- Susan S. and Kenneth L. Wallach Professor at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.
- Faculty Dean at Pforzheimer House, Harvard College (they became the first openly non-binary faculty dean at Harvard in 2023).
- Director of the Nonviolent Action Lab (an innovation hub at the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation that applies social science evidence to support movement-led change).
- Academic Dean for Faculty Development/Engagement (or similar administrative roles) at HKS.
### Major Research and the “3.5% Rule”
Chenoweth is best known for quantitative work showing that nonviolent civil resistance campaigns succeed more often than violent ones. With Maria J. Stephan, they analyzed major campaigns of the 20th century (and later expanded datasets) in *Why Civil Resistance Works: The Strategic Logic of Nonviolent Conflict* (Columbia University Press, 2011).
They maintain major datasets through the Nonviolent Action Lab, including the NAVCO (Nonviolent and Violent Campaigns and Outcomes) Data Project (one of the leading global datasets on mass mobilizations), the Women in Resistance (WiRe) Dataset (with Zoe Marks), and the Crowd Counting Consortium (with Jeremy Pressman), which documents U.S. protests.
Current projects include work on the recent decline in civil resistance success rates, the impact of women’s participation in movements (forthcoming book *Bread and Roses* with Zoe Marks), AI’s effects on pro-democracy movements, and analyses of U.S. protests (including 2020 antiracism uprisings and later mobilizations).
Their research appears in outlets including *The New York Times*, *Washington Post*, *Foreign Affairs*, *The Economist*, NPR, and TEDx talks. They have contributed to *Political Violence @ a Glance* and *The Monkey Cage*.
### Awards and Recognition
- Foreign Policy’s Top 100 Global Thinkers (2013).
- Karl Deutsch Award (International Studies Association, 2014) for the scholar under 40 with the greatest impact on international politics or peace research.
- Grawemeyer Award for Ideas Improving World Order (2013) and American Political Science Association Best Book Award (2012) for *Why Civil Resistance Works*.
- Elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2022).
- HKS Innovations in Teaching Award (2021).

@DataRepublican0@monicaonairtalkns citizens and around 110 million citizens own guns and my guess is 75% own multiple guns. So are we to believe that they only need approximately 12 million weak, freak citizens to overthrow the United States America? Do they actually think we will stand by and not defend our country. There are a half a million weapons in this country and thats not counting what our military is packing. The arrogance of these sickos. Trump is always 10 steps ahead of these seditious treasonous criminals. He's got this.

@DataRepublicana@STAYGOLDjv @monicaonairtalking and they seem to think as if everyone on the ground thinks like they do, but they can’t get out of their own heads to see any bigger picture. This is mass psychosis stuff, radicals living in their own bubbles and echo chambers because they are actually co dependent, but have set themselves up to be loners. This is straight mental illness and codependency, but instead of in their private lives, they’re paired with these crazy echo chambers. Ugh. I’m so glad to be a free thinker. These people are so sick.

@DataRepublican @monicaonairtalk Public “awareness” alone won’t stop these people from overthrowing our government.
We need to start organizing into groups to protect our homeland and all of these people need to go to prison at a bare minimum.

@DataRepublican @monicaonairtalks think. That's all you need because you don't work through consensus processes.
You work through controlling (at least having outsize influence on) the pressure points of concentrated power.
A vision for consensus change requires a plurality of 30-40%. The American Revolution is a political classic in that regard. Opposition to slavery in the decades before the Civil War was similar though it didn't overlap identically.

@DataRepublicand@monicaonairtalkrous posts is shocking & completely angers me. For someone who loves our country & grew up in a very different America in the 60s, 70s, 80s & 90s, & served our country in the military & has lived the normal American life, I don't want the waste of time with arrests, justice, or a court of law. I want brutal firebrand righteous retribution with them dead in body bags thrown into unmarked graves as traitorous enemies of our constitutional republic. Our founders would demand nothing less. These people have forfeited their lives as traitors, a massive threat to our way of life & security to our country. The gibbet is not good enough for these people.🥃

@DataRepublican @monicaonairtalk I am seeing stories of voting machines flipping the vote in real time when people are voting. If true, this would seem to be what the left would create and execute in order to scream “illegitimate” elections and a call to the streets. It’s the perfect set up.

@DataRepublican @monicaonairtalk Yes between all of them they have decades of experience with toppling nations
However, the US is a very new kind of challenge for them, the citizens remain very armed
In some ways, this is still their first rodeo here & their old models don’t apply
Stay engage locally!!!

Sounds like they’re going to incite riots at the midterms to get a possible Insurrection Act Maybe just let their garbage cities burn and don’t call in NG Blue state Governors will be forced to ask for help or they will lose voters if they don’t

If these fucks think we're going to stand by as they attack innocent Americans, burn cities, and attempt to overthrow the government, you're as crazy as the people in this video.

At the same time, where are the true patriots that are ex military leaders, CIA, organizers, et al who will counter this?
Because we know with certainty the judicial and Congress won’t do squat which leave DJT hamstringed.

@DataRepublicanh@monicaonairtalkR44 here in New Smyrna Beach every couple of weeks. Their little group of curmudgeons all lined up in their same spot holding their No King / Constitutional Crisis / Dictator Trump / 86/47 signs. There are never any counter protest against them. Perhaps we need to get some “3.5% Useful Idiot” signs made up and walk amongst them. They won’t know. But we will
