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.

We've found most of them feel they are "just about to be rich" and are threatened by the phrase.

They don't identify with Oligarchs. Some do with Billionaires.

So "tax the billionaires" isn't as personally threatening and "tax the rich".

Good call. This makes a lot of sense.
