Funny how the people calling for protests in DC want someone else to go for them.

OP

Good, the more the better! Dont let this go unchallenged wherever you are, but dont avoid DC if you can make it there.

You won't be there. Easy for you to ask others to go for you. . . . .nt

He would love no protesters, then he can (correctly) say they were too scared to protest.

He says shit all the time. But YOU will be in DC, right? Nobody needs to be in DC to massively protest it.

What he loves more is the sound of skulls being cracked by uniformed thugs. Besides, DC

obviously if people are too timid to protest they should stay at home, this is for the brave among us.

They won't be tiny. I think some cities will have more people out in each than tRump will have in DC

Probably would have worked better actually responding to the actual post. I'm no good at reading minds. . . nt

I think you want someone else to protest in DC for you. Will you be protesting there?

Fair enough then. Be safe. I don't know why you never said you'd be in DC June 14th when I asked many times

I need to get creative re: signs... Shall we share ideas? Obviously 'NO KINGS' would suffice but..

Exactly, most people don't think king is a bad word. "No kings" sounds like a bad card hand or something.

Not going to happen. Was never going to happen. DC will be crawling with maga & ICE & police & hardcore military

The idea is to distract attention from his military parade, not to provoke a confrontation.

Everybody on the streets in DC will be counted by the media & the felon as a supporter. Period. Skip DC

I'm in Canada. I've protested tRump. Yet you attempt to shame people who don't go to DC.
