In order to make my opinion known every damn time I go through a grocery store line, I vow to turn the magazine covers with Trump's face (Melania, Ivanika, Uday and Qusay too) on them backwards and upside down, my free speech response to the corporate media. Thanks to Rev. Dr. MLKing Jr and Gandhi for teaching me how to peacefully resist!
Yes, it is very small act of disobedience, and may inconvenience the store personnel, but it will send the magazine distributors a major message if everyone did it every time we see his ugly mug. The National Enquirer and Time will be unable to sell magazines that are NOT visible. So they will get the message.
It is not illegal to take this sort of action, and if anyone asks why you can honestly state that the photo destroys your appetite and makes you want to leave the store without buying food. I did this tonight, and the man behind me gave me the thumb's up!
If he had said he was a Trump supporter, I would simply have told him he should be ashamed of himself and turned my back toward him. This shall continue until my morale improves which is not likely unless Trump and his freeloading relatives are removed from office.
Please join me!! Feel free to K&R this thread and share this idea with all of your despondent friends, relatives and co-workers who want to join my monkey wrench efforts. Believe me it felt good. Positive outreach to others and great for lowering blood pressure. If enough of us do it often enough, Trump will Tweet about how unfair we are, and how he will sue us all!
Bring it on Tweet Finger.

Of course we can do the other things as well. This is for the soul. I will be calling Congresscritters, making anti-Trump art, screaming like a banshee, protesting, etc.
After the Bush years, I know the drill.

(9,199 posts)Next step, how do we get grocery stores to stop selling the Enquirer. It's nothing but Trump propaganda, and during the campaign there was lie after lie about Hillary on the cover.
Public spirited grocery stores should not sell this rag.

(28,979 posts)Thank you Jane Austen. We will bankrupt the magazine one issue at a time. We will shame the Trump worshipping trash with their own actions. And in the end, we will do what always happens to the too high and mighty in America. We will help them on their way over as they hurtle into the shrieking abyss of negative public opinion.
I predict the very name of Trump will be reviled and seen as nasty as herpes before he's chased from the world stage.
And you and I will do our small part to help the movement grow. Along with Michael Moore, Garrison Keillor, Rosie O, Miss Universe, the Dixie Chicks, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and all the other hardworking run-of-the mill Americans who find Trump's odious presence disgusting proof of America's utter decline.
WE SHALL OVERCOME.

One question keeps running in my brain....what is wrong with all those non far right folks who could not vote for Hillary but were OK voting for that loose cannon reality show character.

(28,979 posts)We need a super secret handshake to signify our disdain of Trump:
"In North America, making a circling motion of the index finger at the ear or side of the head signifies that the person "has a screw loose," i.e. is speaking nonsense or is crazy."
