Since this government doesn't want to listen to the people, I think it does not have the right to ask anything of the people. So I think everyone, in addition to protesting on tax day, should withhold paying their federal taxes. Since the only language Trump seems to understand is money. This would be an economic protest even he would have to notice.
[In response to follow-up conversation on my Facebook wall]
So really it would have to be business owners and government payroll people who would have to decline to automatically take out the certain taxes. And certain business people and local/state governments are already (rightly, in my mind) defying Herr Trump's bullshit, so why not this as well? If even 1/6 of the population declined to pay their federal taxes, that's 50 million people. You can't try to fine or imprison 50 million people en masse; there would be (justified) riots and insurrection.
