Trump voters you just voted for if your daughter, your wife, or your sister is raped, or a victim of incest and becomes pregnant you support them becoming a test tube! And the Republicans will break the test tube to save the contents!

I’m at a point where do not give an f about losing family since We are mostly a see each other on major holidays only kind of family.

I am frustrated with how these people call themselves “educated”, “utilitarian”, “we love people”, “we make decisions based on data”, blah blah. Kept complaining about gas prices and grocery prices the last couple years and attributed all of that to Biden administration.

I would like to be armed with solid talking points why Trump is actually harmful to their personal finances and economy in general.

I have a general idea but I would like to seek help from y’all so I can get some irrefutable points.

Pay very special attention to the third paragraph of the Declaration of Independence of 1776.

Your founding fathers predicted the current events. You must make sure all of your fellow citizens read and understand these words and what they are implying. This is the law of your land. You need to spread the word now. Your legal system is going to be used against your rights, and this document compels them to resist and lock arms with you.

If you are an American patriot, this is your part of the contract of citizenship right there. It is your duty to follow it. This is the gift your founding fathers made you, and it must be honoured. The incoming administration has expressed its intent to violate the Declaration of Independence, and they are therefore illegitimate, meaning any and all actions necessary to remove them are now covered by the law of your land.

We hold these truths to be self-evident,

— That all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

— That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,

— That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

— Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

Do not remain passive, I beg you all.

I can't participate in a society that has embraced fascism and go on acting liking everything is normal. I want people to know where I stand. In particular, I want others who feel alienated, isolated and vulnerable to know that they're not alone. However, I find that we lack potent symbolism that contrasts democratic values with fascism in a way that people can easily recognize and connect with on an emotional level.

One of my favorite pieces of political art is A Garland for May Day, 1895, by Walter Crane. A classical goddess figure offers a garland interwoven with aspirational slogans like, "Hope in Work & Joy in Leisure" and, "Cooperation and Emulation Not Competition." It's aesthetically pleasing and invites you to participate in its vision of a better future. Another is the fist and rose. What's not to like about a hand offering a you a flower, right? And it's simple enough it be applied anywhere — sticker, stencil, button, etc.

What have a lot of merch that allows us to say, "I'm a Democrat" or, "Trump is evil and stupid," and that's fine, but it's mostly just adding noise to a partisan shouting match. We need art that affirms the sanctity of democratic values threatened by fascism; art that offers hope and solidarity to those who are grieving the loss of the country we once knew.

My question, what does that look like? What art have you seen that speaks to you that way? What symbols or concepts should be we be invoking in this moment?
