Yankee Doodle Resistance

One of the things that drove the British crazy was the snarky response to their heavy-handed governance of the American colonies.

Not every Patriot was able, or willing to participate in the public debates, engage in midnight rebellion, or write eloquent letters.

But, every one of them could sing or whistle 'Yankee Doodle Dandy'. Such a small, and public act of rebellion by those Rebels, whether man, woman, or child, led to an impotent, and enraged response. If they openly threatened the offender, they looked like bullies. If they pretended to ignore it, more joined in.

The Unfurled Trump Banners are such an example. You might want to drop $200 on your own display of public resistance. Whether or not the crowd responds with cheers or jeers, bring along a buddy to video the act. And, post it - at least until the Heavy-handed arm of oppression brings you down.
