Obviously this RW crowd has frenzied themselves up and they are looking for a fight.
Do we engage them, which could easily get violent, or is there a better way?
We need to take the spotlight somehow; tweeting seems to work for Trump, and social media, graphics, videos, cartoons, and even sit-ins.

(21,188 posts)I link to the USA today article about him ripping off contractors and another article about his bankrupt business dealings and then I punch them biggly with the article where they write republicans are rubes who have been fooled into supporting a con man.
I never hear back from them.
Sometimes I also put up a meme that states how cheeto is totally unqualified to be president with facts.
We have to counter them with articles like the one in USA today.

(14,176 posts)Gone are the days of "I respectfully disagree". That doesn't work anymore. I wish it did. I'm a pacifist. I hate all forms of violence, including aggressive nasty speech.
But this is a new age, and its time to fight back. Unfortunately there is only one way to fight against a bully (and his poodle bullies).

(65,616 posts)He literally got away with saying he could shoot and kill someone in one of his crowds and they would love him for it! HELLO, media? Candidate just said he could murder someone! They played it and went, "aw how cute Donald is being Donald again."
How do we beat that?
