Ok. I need some ideas for witty subversion for Fourth of July


I feel like I cannot just pretend like this is a business as usual holiday --- need to make a trump protest in one way or another.

Fully expect the usual goons driving around town in pick-ups with trump flags.

Ideas:

I have in my possession numerous dog poop bags "Trump Turds" that I bought from MadDog Pac (Claude Taylor).
Thinking of filling with small stones and dropping on/near parade route the night before.
And if the opportunity to launch one into the bed of a pick-up presents itself.... well....

Projecting an image on my house at night -- possibly Resistance symbol, along with my holiday decor.

Chalking strategic sidewalks and intersections a day or two before.

Of course I always have my "In Our America" yard sign up at all times. I have some anti-theft measures in place. There is a new special edition pride sign that would be a nice addition.


Any other ideas??

1. I'm going to protest by sticking to supporting local celebrations in my town.

Trump may not have the crowds at the Lincoln Memorial that he envisions.

choreographed to wonderful tunes like below and a very diverse - yes crowded - lakefront full of people celebrating our national holiday . I think the taste of Chicago starts that week too!
Head out to some neighborhood parks that stay “ on fire “ all night in celebration afterwards !
Grand old time
The haters can’t take the holiday away here too much fun
don’t let them get the best of you
Plus F them assholes they won’t be here if they are that trumped up although they are welcome to their opinions and to participate if they behave but they probably won’t want to sweat the crowds of “others” and dem majority whites

it's trump holding a Russian flag instead of an american one. He cares more about Russia than us. But, then again, they've got his peepee tapes

Or maybe something to pull in 2020 - taking our country back in 18 mos>>??

6. We really need some witty and stinging protests in DC

to mock his tacky dictator-style political takeover of the longstanding nonpartisan 4th ceremonies in DC. Every time I think of what he's planning, I get furious all over again.

Ideas, anyone?
Does anyone know of anything that might be in the works?
