My scathingly brilliant idea that I'd NEVER have the nerve to pull off

Manufacture signs that state, in big, bright, perhaps reflecting, glowing letters: ' SOCIAL SECURITY IS FOR COMMIES'', or some such message, and in the middle of the night stick them in yards with trump* campaign signs.

(I'd blame my declining mental processes on the lack on sunshine due to the smoke plume, but I actually see BLUE SKY for the first time in a week. I think I'm just )

I passed 3 houses, in a row, with trump* and John James signs, on my way home from my local farmer's market. One also had a sign that said 'my governor is an idiot'. Not the best way to start my day.

but that phrase sounds like it's therefore okay to do away with Social Security.

in favor of doing away with SS. Nor will they start thinking of it as a "Commie" thing, especially not on the basis of a few signs. I'd also guess that most of his die-hard supporters only care about punishing liberals, and simply don't understand or don't care that they themselves will be hurt by what he'll do.

I'd feel sorry for them if they weren't such harmful bastards.
