And I wouldn't doubt if there is violence planned for anti trump protesters at his rally

Remember, Bannon wants us to fight a civil war in a quasi way, so that he can institute martial law and so on.

thousands and thousands and thousands.

In numbers there is strength.

Since Bannon wants a confrontation, as does fuckface, I dont know what to suggest.

I would not want to go unless I was with many others. We are in a dictatorship now, fascists, so not sure what will happen.

This is not our circus, not our big, orange monkey.

Stay away from him, don't let him feed on you.

Today's "day without immigrants" protest was a success. The January 20 women's march was a success. These are the things we need to be doing, not giving the alt right people to beat up at Trump events.

I mean it. Stay away. Deprive him of attention. Remember, narcissists thrive on negative attention at least as much as on positive attention.

He can't read well enough to bother to read your signs. He can't hear what you're yelling through his rolled up windows and the noise of the car's AC. He will see you as supporters, as fans, as people who LOVE HIM.

You have obviously never met a narcissist. I suggest you read up on them.

showing the House and Senate and America that there will be more protesters than supporters.

And opposition to him drives him crazy. He knows protesters when he sees them. He may claim they are supporters but he knows better.

The only way to show the House and Senate anything they will understand is calls, mail, and email.

And no, all he sees is ATTENTION, LOVING ATTENTION.

If all you want is to see yourself in the paper, fine. Otherwise, change your tactics.

And do read up about narcissism. It's a real thing and 45 has it. Bigly.

and I am also someone who knows all about narcissism even though it doesnt really exist, not a real clinical term.

I dont want to see myself in the paper, I wont be there, so you can drop the snark off elsewhere with someone who will react, that is twice now from you.

and if there are no protesters, who will punch him in the nose? It would be a real dereliction of our civic duty to not make sure he gets punched in the nose...

If you are saying dont go for safety concerns then fine, I agree.

But protest must happen somehow.
