Here's a preview:

Funny protest idea! 🤡 Dress up like clowns and make signs shaped like speech bubbles of all the ridiculous things this administration says and take photos for the internet so it looks like literal clowns are saying these quotes (basically what’s actually happening)

My friend gave me this idea when he told me he wanted to see a clown troupe in full body costumes on unicycles and playing Kazoos at J6 and the Nazi March in NC, following them like a train. And how that imagery against the violence would’ve gone viral like the HawkTuah girl on steroids😆

Do you have any other ideas to use humor to protest?

I think laughing at them is a great way to belittle them ~ calling them weird SO got under their skin last year!

Painting protest stones!

This is an idea someone left in the comments on a previous post!

I am avoiding Home Depot because of their support of fascism, and bought some landscaping stones from Lowe’s that I am going to paint and place around town. Some ideas of things I am going to write on them are:

TARIFFS = INFLATION

NO KINGS IN AMERICA

TRUMP IS A FASCIST

THIS IS FASCISM

FASCISM ≠ FREEDOM

DEATH CAMPS IN EL SALVADOR [n*zi symbol]

FIRST THEY CAME FOR THE IMMIGRANTS

HE CAN “DEPORT” YOU TOO

KIDNAPPING IS NOT DEPORTING

HUMAN TRAFFICKING IS NOT DEPORTING

CODIFY WOMEN’S RIGHTS

D.C. = OLIGARCHY

BILLIONAIRES HATE US

BILLIONAIRES ARE NOT OUR FRIENDS

PRISON = SLAVORY

STOP SCHOOL TO PRISON PIPELINE

Solidarity Forever 🎶

WE OUTNUMBER THEM

THEY SHOULD FEAR US

FAIR WAGES FOR FAIR WORK

THIS IS PRAXIS (look it up!)

Any other ideas?

THIS IS FASCISM written on a rock is pretty funny. Is the rock fascism?

[–] Hexamerous@hexbear.net 10 points 3 days ago

A while back I saw a trashcan with "gay" written on it, just "gay". I honestly stood there for a minute trying to figure out if the trashcan was "gay", or was I "gay" for reading it, or are they trying to express their gayness like "Be gay, do crimes!" sort of thing.

Hey what about if we put tape over our mouths and walk around. See the message here is that we don't even respect Trump enough to speak out! That'll definitely show him and all his cronies not to mess around with us!

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 8 points 3 days ago

Idk what the people behind those noh8 campaigns were thinking. "Let's have attractive people put duct tape on their mouths.”

Started by a 2 year old account that first posted a couple months ago with a generic name who claims to have been a trump '16 voter who saw the light during the George Floyd protests,

focused entirely on nondisruptive acts an individual can do alone or in tiny groups

  1. Buy a megaphone and sign making materials (try to avoid giving money to an oligarch when possible)
  2. Make a sign informing people of what’s happening, particularly about the death camps
  3. Call a friend or a group to join you
  4. Decide if you want to hide your faces with masks and sunglasses
  5. Go to your nearest public town or city center AS SOON AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE to start peaceful protesting with your megaphone and sign(s), maybe even cards with info to pass out (I am making some for this sub). Take photos to post and livestream if possible!
  6. Do not wait for someone to organize and save you/us. It’s up to us now. The time is NOW. We do not have the luxury of waiting and seeing anymore for someone to do something. THAT SOMEONE IS YOU, ME, and the other good people who are being called by their spirits to stand up to the evil attempting to consume and destroy everything good and beautiful in the world.

I honestly can't tell if this is an actual clueless lib convert or an op to keep the libs out of the way.

[–] OldSoulHippie@hexbear.net 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It almost feels like a dumb old school 4chan troll like "hehe I'll bet I could convince libs to protest in even smaller groups so they're easier to get arrested, and sent to El salvador for the epic lawls"

[–] Des@hexbear.net 10 points 3 days ago

i mean they did just close down 4chan

brb gonna go post the Matt Christman Charlottesville rant

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 19 points 3 days ago (2 children)

One of the hosts of the Western Kabuki podcast said he's now teehee-pilled. He dresses up like a clown, reads the news, and hits himself on the head with a fake hammer while giggling so he doesn't feel like he's going insane: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhNmvGbKGb4

[–] William_Nilliam@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I feel like maybe he's already there

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Name one thing that's insane about filming yourself giggling and hitting yourself in the head with a hammer while dressed as a clown watching CNN. I'll wait.

[–] William_Nilliam@hexbear.net 5 points 3 days ago

funny-clown-hammer is fine, it's the CNN watching

These are just kids, right?

I feel like this is the kind of idea a child gets.

[–] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Reminds me of that recent post where someone's mom was in a group trying to great a YA style resistance compete with a simple substitution chipper and name like 'sparrows'

[–] puckylinky@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago

protest? more like vibetest 😎
