Dear Media Moguls, Mavens, and Motherfuckers, ya wanna do something GOOD for a change?

Actually, it isn't even doing anything. It is, instead, doing NOTHING.

Ignore The Malignant Mango's $45M forced asskissing. No TV, no reporting. Nothing. Don't even cover the protests.

Without your coverage, it becomes a non event.

This Navy vet DARES you.

There is no way this becomes a non event - tanks in the streets demands coverage and response from us. We must not let this go unopposed! Wishing it away wont make it go away.

All it does is weaken the opposition. It’s a gift to trump to not protest this. Exactly what he wants. We need people in the streets in DC saying No, F this.

To be clear, I am not saying not to protest. I am saying to completely ignore the entire event. Let it be like a fart in a windstorm. Coverage is like a hurricane riding the Gulf Stream. It feeds the event.

You want to protest? Protest the day before or the day after. Like the (literally) million plus crowd that gathered and protested in DC in 2000 the day after Krasnov's inauguration. We were there. It was amazing and it begat national and international protests.

It was its OWN event, not a sideshow.
