    Parts of CT are KKK strongholds.

    I have a friend who used to live there and he told me his town had some prominent klansmen there, and there were rallies a town or two away.

      In the past they’ve been socially aware enough to keep it to themselves. Since Trump became a thing they’ve gotten bold.

      I live in New England so I’m close-ish to where this happened… I’d like to throw something on them like wine to stain their ghost costumes but who knows if thats legal and i dont want to end up in jail since i have responsibilities to people other than just me.

      Is tossing glitter on them not assault? I want something that sticks and makes it so they don’t want to wear that outfit anymore. Glitter that’s fine enough never comes out… because it’s micro plastics. I normally avoid glitter but feel this might be an exception. Any other ideas non-violent ideas to make them feel unwelcome??

        Wine is probably a civil matter, right? They’d have to take you to court under their real name to recover damages.

        I’ve got just the thing for you. Vegan milkshakes. Well, any milkshake will do, because the point of throwing a shake is to get them soaked in a liquid that will smell awful if it bakes in the sun. It might stain clothes, and it will certainly be uncomfortable. You should probably use a chocolate shake with the klansmen, it’ll stain their bedsheets real good.

        The best part about it is the physical harm inflicted is minimal, while the social harm, humiliation, is pretty significant. This is important because humiliation is the achilles heel of fascists, since their world view is based on imagery, and this action disrupts it.

        The other good thing this does is it can be used to make a potential agitator leave so they can clean up.

        This, unfortunately, is assault (or some other illegal activity), so keep that in mind.

          Just shout “Happy Holi” and you can try and claim religious exemption.

    about 10 minutes from my house, there is a house that has had a red take america back flag flying for so long it’s faded and kinda blown out. their neighbor had 2 small BIDEN HARRIS signs put up about 2 months ago. then the shitty neighbor put up a yard sign for the orange turd and his couch fucker running mate. it wasn’t until about 2-3 weeks ago when the HARRIS WALZ signs finally started making their debut, that this guy put up a 3x4 sign with a couple more smaller yard signs.

    now there’s a life-sized cardboard cutout of “thumbs up” facing out the front door

      These people are genuinely insane. The locals in CT act genuinely surprised when they get any pushback against their Christo fascist asses. There’s one guy who has been sitting out on Rt-6 that I make sure to flip off every time I see him and every time he makes a big stink. I know I’m far from the only one doing it though

    To be honest, attending that “event” in a KKK robe would do great to show Trump voters who they caucus with lol.

    Drove through New Hampshire a month ago and the road was littered with yard signs for Trump. Funny enough, once you got off the main road they became significantly less common. But someone definitely spent some time and energy absolutely littering I-93 with pro-Trump propaganda.
