Rather than protest the president; shouldn't we be protesting the real president: Fox News?

I'm pretty sure rallies in front of their buildings would really bum them out, and even maybe reach the sliver of a conscience that some of the anchors and other staff have.

It's bad publicity and they can't continue sitting in their ivory news towers spewing bullshit while seeing reality right outside their windows. Well they can, but it'd look 5x stupider than usual.

It used to be that one whiff of dissent could cause a pol to get cast out into the wilderness. Now their other media and the root base of Trump supporters are small but important pieces of their puzzle.

We have rallied FOR things such as keeping the ACA . . .against Leonard Lance.

I'm sure this was a tongue in cheek post - but - Trump has a cult of personality followers.

The Republicans do not. Going after them gets us into a place where we can impeach it.

I just ignore the rabble rousers on the wrong. Do not show up at these events, you will be used as propaganda on fox, etc. The violence only feeds the propaganda.

Line the streets without signs and turn your back as his motorcade drives by.

We will never change any trump supporters mind, why waste your time.
