The Way Forward
Related: About this forumSTOP MUSK
During the Vietnam War era, people made stickers that said WAR and stuck them under the word STOP on traffic stop signs. They were all over.
Printing stickers that say MUSK and putting those on stop signs would be a simple way to raise public consciousness about the heinous things he's doing.

(285 posts)There are so many stop signs in rural areas where no one would ever know who put up the sticker. I would like to see protesters once a month or every week, on weekends, like the anti-free choice/anti-abortion people did for years, every weekend on the way to our city's only major shopping mall every weekend. You couldn't go shopping for clothes, shoes, furniture, etc. without seeing their signs or hearing their chants. (I, of course, did not agree with them.) If they could protest weekly, why can't we? I am in my 70's have a very limited social circle, plenty of health/mobility issues and am not able to organize anything. But I could participate, stand and sit in my folding chair, once a week. I marched in 1969 in San Francisco, I can still stand up for what I believe in now.

I think most shopping malls and centers now prohibit protests.

I laughed and said "Yep, it is. And you don't know why any woman is coming to Planned Parenthood because THAT would be a personal question!"

(285 posts)trying to make was that the anti-choice people were in our faces every weekend for years and they got their way. The county I live in had always voted Democratic for president, not this time in 2024. We have to make ourselves heard, like putting musk stickers under the word stop on stop signs, so they read "stop musk," organizing small weekly protests, where our voices, information, thoughts, etc. are made known to the regular people who only watch Fox news or no news as they drive by.
I worked in education for close to 25 years, (10 years as a certificated teacher teaching 2nd grade full-time) the school board, school site councils were being taken over by religious right wingers in the 1990's where I live. It was individual teachers who stood up to them. The school site council wanted to stop Halloween parties, costumes, but it was left up to the individual teachers to handle their classroom situations. The schools got more and more conservative about what you could do or could not do.
People drive every where, since they don't read the newspaper and the MSM is worthless, we have to educate them somehow. A small act of Resistance, protests, stop musk-trump on rural stop signs, multiplied and all over the country, hopefully, grows and changes some minds to see what is really going on. When I asked my husband if he remembered the war stickers on stops signs, he said, "Oh, yeah, they were everywhere."
