maga and tRump want trouble. They will create create trouble any chance they get. They will make violence out of any protest, no matter how peaceful the intention.
Don't give them the chance by being there.

If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.

The regime is expecting protests in DC. They will be prepared for protests in DC. Don't give it what it wants.

Last report I saw said over 600 planned (a week ago). I think organizations are called 50501 and Indivisible. . . nt

No. Avoid DC that weekend. It will be crawling with maga and security. Protest heavy every where else. . . . nt

Not true. Particularly if our crowds are larger, as they have been in the protests so far. Keep building them. . nt

That is so silly. Just protest it where it is, get signs in the tv shots, don't cede the easy ground to the losers.

Avoid direct confrontation with superior force. Use strategy to avoid having to use tactics

Going to DC June 14th is obeying in advance. He wants crowds. His goons will overwhelm any protests with violence.

There will be protesters in DC, the only question is how many. Some want more, others here seem to want fewer
