It sure fucking seems like it. Nobody's doing anything.
Maybe you’re not. Try going to protests. Talk to people in person. Leave your echo chamber and share information with those that are unaware. Small resistances get incarcerated, deported, or exterminated. See: Nazi Germany

I should have been more specific in what I meant. I'm only talking about the elected officials who seem to be more interested in being seen to talk big than to actually do anything impactful.

Democrats can only talk. They were voted into minority. The only power they have is the filibuster, and that doesn’t work on executive orders or reconciliation bills.

That's another thing that makes no sense though. Most of the executive orders are illegal, unconstitutional or just not something within executive order power, yet people are following then as though they're holy edicts. It's easily the most fucked up thing I've seen happen from the federal government because it's so mindless and short sighted.

No he wasn't. You said that no one was doing anything. He came back to show people are. The media is trying to hide it, but it's important to spread the word.
He came back to claim people are.
We are still on the internet. People lie all the time.

They’re still to be followed until ruled unconstitutional by a federal court or overturned by Congress. The Republicans in Congress are complicit, but federal courts have already stopped Trump over 200 times since his term began. https://archive.is/zZ9zU

We don't need heroes. we need people who show up regularly. And many of them.
Therein lies your problem. I can show up for a weekend. I can show up for several weekends, in fact. I can't sit in a protest for two weeks, because I have a job I need to keep in order to eat food and own a home.
As the economy collapses further more and more people will become available for the sort of protest required of them, because they will no longer have job responsibilities. Or food. Possibly including me.
Until that time, I will be making efforts to keep my job.

What else do you propose with 5M people out of a nation of 340M?
The signs on sticks are meant to engage the disengaged. The goal is to increase our numbers, not feed our small resistance to prisons and give Trump a reason to enact the Insurrection Act.
"Violence is the only answer but I will commit none of it and yell at people online to do it for me instead" something along those lines probably
