America and France are very different places. Other answers have gone into the structural, geographic and social differences that make French style riots unlikely in America, but those very differences also affect what would be effective.
The vast majority of French "rioters" are actually peaceful, doing little more than marching and being part of the discontented mass. The comparatively small amount of violence and looting is picked up on because it's sensational, not because it is particularly effective. Those sorts of riots would, even if you could get people to take part, have much less effect in the US, for the reasons you and others have stated.
The visible riots and marching are really just marketing for the more important, and effective, part though, which is the economic halt that also occurs. This is the bit that Americans should be looking to emulate, as it's the effective bit, and less likely to get you shot.
Get together with anyone like minded who you can find, and prepare. Build up local community resilience and mutual aid groups. These steps help whatever happens, so they're a good way to pull in more people. Once communities start building up their own strength, they can stop, or reduce, taking part in the economy that supports the fascists.
For example, Walmart U.S. had net sales of $129B last quarter alone. According to their balance sheet, the property value of all of their stores, warehouses, and other property is about $136B. If people reduced their spending there by even 10% that would be a $12.9B hit, per quarter, or about the equivalent of close to 10% of their property portfolio without anyone having to go out on the streets, set fire to anything, or get shot.
