I have repurposed an old Vietnam war protest chant, for modern times.

Even though ICE has reduced the number of fascist goons sent here to plague us, there are still a fair number and they're still committing their same fuckery. So the Minneapolis resistance is still going strong, and we won't stop until they do. We've got people demonstrating on dozens of street corners and highway overpasses all over the area every day, and now we've got another thing to protest: Trump's insane new war. So I resurrected a slogan that a lot of you might remember, only substituting Donald J. for LBJ, and painted a sign. Some of the other graybeards remembered it, too, and lamented that we're still having to protest the same old shit after all these years.

If II remember correctly, which at my age is far from a sure thing.

The diminutive seems to be just a little more appropriate for this very small man.

"Hey, hey, Donnie J." has a nice ring to it.
