I call it a broadly worded call to action to take back political power. Trump said that his taking office puts power back in the hands of the people, yet he lost the vote of the people. Taking back that power, resistance, takes many forms. It can mean working to change Congress, working at state levels to counter the rollback of civil rights protections and environmental protections, continuing to protest and to question authority.
Your bias leads you to the extreme, but she said none of that. She broadly said resist, and so with that broad message there are many routes to take, a lot of them are constitutionally protected.
