One way to shut Trump up, would be to take a close-up look at the kind of people at his rallies.

A face recognition program may find owners of small business in attendance. Their customers could then be made aware of the fact that they are supporting businesses with such a racist/sexist agenda. A few incidents like this would surely discourage a few business owner attendees to stay away from future rallies.

Face recognition could also show how many of his supporters have criminal records for violence and bullying, etc. They can be ostracized on social media and in the local media of their communities. I wish some investigative journalists would give this a try.

We have to get a more in your face attitude (nothing violent) when dealing with Trump supporters as they are the lifeline that feeds his sick ego. We are not making much headway in shutting him up so maybe we should start on his supporters. These types must have lots of hidden baggage, we should start highlighting a few of them and maybe spread some of the fear that they love to use on us.

These people are citizens and exercising their constitutional rights. We need to change their thinking. Intimidation is not what we are about!

They are not exercising their constitutional rights when they actively promote racism, sexism, violence and voter fraud. The Proud Boys supporters make sure of that. Intimidation seems to be the only non-violent way to shut them up.

I want to hear what people say while waiting for dear leader to take the stage. I want to see their faces when they say it. Surely if we can film those calling the cops on minorities for nothing or harassing others for speaking a foreign language, we can do this.

At this point, anyone who still actively supports Donald Trump is a racist asshole.

When white men hide behind sheets to commit acts of violence against other races, we know they are monsters. Those who show up at trump rallies posing as normal people are really all hatemongers. They must also be self loathing as Trump is slowly dismantling their safety net to give money to himself. Surely they cannot all be that stupid.
