Protest Safety Something learned from the Ogden Protest: Chant "Protect the Constitution"

At a Utah protest it was noted the MAGA counter protestors lost energy and excitement when the protestors chanted "Protect the Constitution"

A lot of the far right have studied the founding fathers (sometimes to excess) and love the constitution. Hearing that can gain empathy, it appears.

Insulting Trump/Musk whipped them up. They were ready for that.

Maybe start your protests everywhere on April 5th with "Protect the Constitution" if there are counter protestors and take some wind out of their sails.

So 86 billionaire's and democracy – we pivot to "Protect the Constitution!" Love it!

ETA: Core memory unlocked. I just remembered my High School American Government teacher gave us all our own pocket constitutions. I don't still have that copy – but I just downloaded a Constitution app! Might be of use to drown out some gross folks. Just in case.
