…a small suggestion to enhance the rhythm of the chant. Say your first line twice:

Fucking A
Fucking A

Make MAGA Assholes
Go Away!

going to a community college and saw Country Joe McDonald multiple times, the fixing to die rag cheer, always started with the f-u-c-k chant what does that spell? You can't forget 300 to 400 students, who didn't want to be drafted or support a war, shouting/screaming "Fuck" ever. I am too old to do any protesting, but my thoughts/support are there for anyone who goes. Also saw Country Joe and his group at other bigger venues, just can't remember where.

The approach in the second one is to appeal to people of all stripes (including maga) to think or feel without thinking that "yeah, I'm in the know, I'm plugged in". That makes them more automatically accept the first sentence of it and leans them that much more against tRump and his regime.

That is a pretty good poster. Today I have been calling liberal organizations to see if any of their members are going to the protests on Saturday. Many non-profit organizations can only be contacted by email and have no phone numbers. Even the ones with phone numbers don't have anyone answering their calls. I did talk to a member of a Native American tribe here in Washington State. I suggested all the Native American tribes start sending members to represent their views to these protests too. The lady listened to what I had to say and was very polite. After all, Trump is saying Native Americans are not American citizens and are being harassed by ICE. This tribe runs a very profitable casino (unlike Trump) and when the time comes that social security checks stop coming to seniors, then their profits will be hurt, probably half the people who visit the casino are over 62. Later on, I did talk to a person on the phone at the NACCP in Maryland, she did not know if any of their members would be attending these demonstrations. I told her the issue of peaceful protests needed to be discussed with all the members of the NACCP. I attempted to contact Vote Vet.org, the NOW organization, and the AFL-CIO in Washington State, but no one answered the phone calls or contact was by email only.
Today I realized that there are not many coordinated efforts or plans for the protests within these various organizations. I was appalled there was little knowledge of the protests as well. I know many union members will be attending the protests, along with the League of Women Voters, and RESULTS members. I think that all the organizations and people who are against Trump's awful agenda need to be in contact with each other, there needs to be a coordinating effort to bring all of them together to reach the goal of saving our democracy.
