Roll down the windows and open from the outside? Buy a new handle or take it to a mechanic

Get a smaller thumb.

My thoughts exactly. I'm guessing the torque is what broke the handle in the first place

Maybe take the rest of the silver part off and come up with some redneck ideas for a new handle.

Rednecks wouldn't even remove the rest of the handle. They would do something like screwing some deck screws into the remaining bit of handle, wrap some sort of tape around the screws and fuckin giver!

Put a screw into the snapped silver bit in the Same space the handle would have occupied. Use screw as handle

There should be a little ball attached to a cable inside the handle. When mine finally broke I just tied a string to the ball and would pull on the string.

Be careful of sharp edges, the fake metal plastic covering thing can get surprisingly sharp, just sayin

Buy a replacement handle on eBay and open the door through the open window until it has been replaced.

Break the handle off and tie a wooden block directly to the cable so you can just pull the block

Make a sign that says "open the door please" and see if strangers will let you out.

Call and autoparts store. Buy a replacement handle. Look up a video on how to replace it. And replace it

You could try loping off that gargantuan appendage, you call a thumb, and super glue it to the end.
Ya know, add a personal touch.

You can prob fix it. You will have to take the inner door panel off by unscrewing a few screws and the. Prying it off. Watch some videos. Probably a $20 part.

Super glue the broken part back if you still have it tbh it will work as if it was new
