Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI've read that the famous AK47 is a "spray" gun: cheap to make, simple to operate
and fully automatic. It is therefore the perfect weapon to distribute to untrained rebels who terrorize every opponent and send them fleeing in panic with a loud spray of bullets--- until they make the mistake of trying that on, say, US Navy SEALS.
The SEALS don't run away from someone firing an AK---they run TOWARD them while returning accurately aimed---not wildly sprayed---fire. When it sinks in that 1.) "These guys aren't running away", and 2.) "We're getting killed!", the terrorists turn tail and flee, sometimes abandoning their weapons.
Sorry if that offended anyone's sensibilities, but I do have a point. Most all bullies---and that's what the Trumpies are--are cowards. They like to fight people who seem scared or weak. They love to stage situations where they outnumber us and they count on watching us head for the hills when they attack. We need to GO RIGHT AT THEM!
Be indignant that you have to take the time to correct their ignorance. Tell them you are ashamed of them and that if they had any decency, they'd be ashamed of themselves. Most of their shouted "facts" should be answered with "THAT'S BULLSHIT!". Have a pre-considered list of questions to ask THEM: "How much has Mexico paid for Trump's wall? Where is that better cheaper insurance for everyone that Trump promised?"
SHOW THEM the real meaning of "stand your ground". And, try to smile while you do it.

(17,019 posts)It most definitely does further the cause. For those who are thinking about acting that way it lets them see the consequence of that behavior. Liberals need to confront the rascist, xenophobic, mysogonistic asshats every time they cross our path. They believe they are in the majority but that clearly is not the case. Their beliefs are rooted in fear and most back down quickly when directly confronted. Plus, it feels really, really good to watch the confusion cross their face that moment they realize they have seriously misjudged the situation.
