Put away your guns and use your brain.

There are innumerable ways to resist without violence.

MAGA people who know me won't confront me. They keep their nonsense to themselves. They already fear me, that's why they are so agitated.

Trump gave these morons permission to let their inner racism, misogyny, and other hatreds loose.

You can, at the very least, make the anti-intellectualism and petty hatreds the are stewing in unpleasant for them -- maybe even offer them a way out.

That's not always effective, so always wear shoes you can run in so you can live to resist another day.
