(2,108 posts)Wear a suit, flag lapel pin, carry your message on a sign and don't shout.
Not crazy about restrictions like that but imagine the impact in the media of anti-trump protesters republicanly dressed, behaving for the cameras but with all the clever signs.
That's a message that would be heard.

(100,068 posts)Don't give them any attention, don't start shit. Just let Trump speak before an empty crowd and stir in his own juices. That would be the best protest of all.

My take on this is that Standing Rock - and they've already injured and abused many people at the camps, as we know - I think SR could be...bad. It's impossible to get quick, clean news out of there, but this woman, Ruth Hopkins, award winning writer, reporter for Indian Country Today - she's my go-to on NoDAPL, and it feels as if it's coming down up there:

(4,220 posts)Remember these BS type "rallies" from the campaign. Airports are secure areas and a hanger in an airport all the more so.
Not saying a few hardy souls might be able to sneak inside the event and start protesting but any crowds of protesters in any real numbers will be far far away.
Thats why its being held there.
With that said, they COULD let something happen... Reichstag Fire wise...
