That's exactly it. Passive economic resistance is the key. They need what you have, and nobody can make you spend your money on someone or something that you do not want, for political reasons or otherwise. Undermining the financial base of the movement is the key to rotting away its infrastructure. If enough people are motivated to do so, there is nothing they can do to stop it, and the impact of it eventually.
When you can. Trump is doing big shakedowns as we speak. I wouldn't be surprised if we see the institution of smaller ones coming to our doorsteps. His people have models they are aware of.
"The Can Rattlers, as they became known, were relentless in their pursuit of making sure every good German citizen gave their share to the WHW. In fact, those who forgot to give had their names put in the paper to remind them of their neglect. Neighbors and even family members were encouraged to whisper the names of shirkers to their block leaders so that they could persuade them to do their duty. On one occasion, a civil servant was prosecuted for failure to donate, and his argument that it was voluntary was dismissed on the grounds it was an extreme view of liberty to neglect all duties that were not actually prescribed by law and therefore an abuse of liberty. It was not unheard of for workers to lose their jobs for not donating to Winterhilfe or not giving enough. For instance, when a worker was fired for not donating to Winterhilfe, the firing was upheld by a labour court on the grounds that it was 'conduct hostile to the community of the people [...] to be most strongly condemned'."

Thank you. I knew nothing about this.
