I mean, I'm not going to disagree. But what can you do if you are American? :/

I’m not American so it’s not up to me. You do all have a lot of bullets though :)

I'm sure we could make an exception just this once

The most powerful thing the average American can do is boycott.

I work in finance and the Q1 reports for Amazon, Tesla, Target, and Meta are fucking bleak. Despite the huge numbers in them, they are losing customers and sales at a faster rate than ever before and that is only expected to ramp up. And once a consumer rejects a company, they are often intrinsically motivated to move on to alternatives or go without, and thus it is highly unlikely they will ever return.

The other most powerful thing some Americans can do is sabotage.

If you work for a fascist organization, you need to sabotage their operations. There's plenty of guides online, but it can be as simple as slacking, making mistakes that waste everyone's time, spreading rumors about leadership, demanding that every tiny little thing follows company policy exactly to the letter, rambling in meetings and taking up time, ordering 1500 units instead of 150, question the loyalty of the most loyal company employees, spill water on electronics or plug cables into the wrong holes, etc.

And of course, there's a reason why billionaires are so fucking paranoid and want Luigi dead, because they are hoping to send a strong message to all of their private staff about the price of betraying their overlords.
