I'll be attending the No Kings Protest in NYC - anybody else attending a protest, and if so, do you have any witty ideas for a poster?
Thanks!

(30,273 posts)I need to make two new signs, as the last ones weren't harsh enough. I've been making a list of ideas I've gleaned online.
I think I'll make this one for Mr. Bayard:
Eggs are so expensive because all the chickens are in Congress.
More:
No Felons
No Facsists
No Kings
We have a Constitution, not a king.
No kings since 1776
Irony--
A 34 count felon calling immigrants criminals.
Make America normal again.
Are we great yet? Cause I just feel embarrassed.
The Holocaust started as a mass deportation.
Poverty does not exist because we cannot feed the poor,
but because we cannot satisfy the rich.
The problem with political jokes is that they get elected.
I will be carrying my own thoughts on a big old poster board:
TRUMP IS KING
--King of hypocrisy
--King of lies
--King of grifting
--King of corruption
--King of racism
--King of incompetence
--King of greed
--King of treason
--King of cruelty
--King of misogyny
--King of chaos

(55,525 posts)This will be my 29th protest since 2016 (and I didn't protest 2020-2025) so that is a lot of signs. I always make them double sided and tape them on 3 sides making a giant envelope or pocket which I slide over my very large, heavy and durable 3' x 2' heavy foam core with a 1/2 wide dowel. Since it is so large it can catch any breeze and it turns into a very heavy sail and I need both hands to control it. The fucking moron has made me drop weight and I'm only 83 pounds so I can get turned and blown over and around if the breezes kick up.
When I make MY signs...I cut and past "older" signs to make new current ones. It saves time and money.
For NO KINGS my sign was ready 3 weeks ago so I made another one for my sister to hold.
Mine is a big red, white, and blue silkscreen of tRump behind bars wearing a shiny gold crown. I used buttons for jewels and it says LOCK HIM UP and NO KINGS!!! and on the other side is a gigantic hand with a wooden gavel smashing the US flag and it says STOP THE GOP.
The two I made for my sister has the same silkscreen of tRump but with a Hitler hair-don't, a toothbrush mustache and a big, red clown nose. It says NO KINGS NO FASCISTS NO CLOWNS NO CRAZIES On the other side a made a big, 3-D TACO and my sister wants it to say TACO. TACO. MAN.

(37,189 posts)I've been attending rallies with a small group of friends. A couple are good artists, and that helps. We get together between rallies and make posters. Sometimes the group effort is helpful.
One I made has a mean & ugly color photo of Richard Nixon scowling. It says, "Looking Down from Hell in Disgust." That one gets a good amount of attention. This has included three people asking if it shouldn't say "looking up from hell." I ask where exactly hell is?
