Given that someone got domestic terrorism charges for saying “Deny, Defend, Depose”, do you think it would be a bad idea for me to carry a sign at a peaceful protest that says “Deny Musk, Defund Doge, Depose Trump”?

For context, this protest is in a moderately upscale suburb of DC with a particularly liberal (not leftist, liberal) population base. The protest has been happening every Saturday for several weeks now, and usually pulls around 200-300 people. There is usually a police presence, but they have not gotten confrontational in the past. They’ve only warned people to not block entrance to the dealership, but have otherwise left us alone.

    If you’re not a US citizen - in fact, if you’re not a natural-born US citizen - seriously consider whether you want to go at all. There’s a significantly higher chance they’ll stick you on a plane somewhere and ignore much or all of the bureaucracy that was intended to prevent systemic abuses like this in the past.
