We can protest
We can celebrate
We can be angry
Qe can be happy

We cannot portray ourselves as callous assholes though at this time

The media will not help our message

The choice is how much we are willing to compromise our values and integrity.

There are a huge number of silent people that will and would sacrifice because they feel the country cannot afford to wait the rest of Trump's term. Nobody has to like it though.

Do to stop Trump or fascism? Do you think such a protest would give him a conscience?

Take it out of the playbook, but the justifications are total opposites of Westbourough.

there is a 100.1% chance there will be signs misgendering him and probably other homophobic signs as well.

There is no reason to taint No Kings with that sort of trash.

Figurative grave pissing is fine, and I welcome the comments especially if they’re funny. So no tsk tsk from me for that

But protesting funerals… that is poor taste and the sort of media attention you don’t want. He’s dead. Not going to mourn his passing but let his loved ones (and colleagues) have their day.

That in countries with monarchies, no king or monarch as the case may be, is even one tenth as overbearing, cruel, despotic or corrupt as your very own president.
