If we self identify in large numbers commies will use that information to murder us.

Not if we murder them first.

I wear my TRUMP 2020 T shirt now when I go out. I wish enough people would do that and wear MAGA hats too. It would either drive the snowflakes back to mommas’ basement or explode their heads.

We should learn a lesson from France.

About 100 were detained, many for carrying dangerous objects like fireworks or clothing that could be used as protection in clashes with police.

Not pitchforks, or spears, or guns, but protective clothing...?

"The reasons for the protests are not entirely clear."

Gas taxes?....phooey. People having fun in the streets?....phooey. People don't like their leaders?....phooey.

The REAL reason for the protests is as clear as a sylvan pond in the Garden of Eden.

The protests, unrest, turmoil, agitation and mayhem now exploding across our fruited plain, exploding in one European country after another and spreading elsewhere on other continents have their roots in one thing, and one thing only......

It's the basic, couple-centuries-old, calculated-unrest and take-over actions....all of which are the core of marxism, small "c" communism and enforced totalitarian globalism.....call it what you will.

No need to look for any other "root" reasons.

All this was laid out openly in the "Communist Manifesto" and the "Rules for Radicals" and other dictats.....the ABC's of which most of us learned early on in our early political education and in Freeperism 101....enlightenment of which most people today are blithely unaware....and the enemedia will never expand on.

I think most of the time people riot out of sheer boredom.

"I think most of the time people riot out of sheer boredom."

That's true, and you can add other reasons like inborn hate, jealousy, mental issues, lack of ethics, morals, religious training and also a lack of education....but these aimless rioters, agitators, vandals and rebels have one thing in common, they are useful pawns and idiots for the never-resting marxists, commies and radical left who use them to do their dirty front-line work....and these rioters don't even know it....and probably most wouldn't care if they did know.

This is what we're up against, and it ain't pretty.

If only I had a symbol in my possession that matched many of my fellow citizens.

How about a yellow vest?

The leftist whackos and haters will rip MAGA hats off heads, steal them or trash them and hit, punch, deface or otherwise abuse those that wear Trump tee shirts or other Trump paraphernalia. The Trump/Pub haters are already doing so. It’s a civil war out there folks.

I was thinking rifles.

But that’s just me.

Just need to design a MAGA hat with cactus thorns all over it and that’ll solve that grabbing and snatching problem right there.

Harbor Freight sells those yellow reflective vests for $4.49. I’m guessing they are less on sale, and a lot less in bulk.

If someone could come up with a red, white, and blue version???

Of course though, that’s not something that can be worn “anywhere”.
