Comment on Would it be a bad idea to show up at a protest outside a Tesla dealership with a sign that says "Deny Musk, Defund Doge, Depose Trump"?

  No, we need people. All kinds of people. As many people as we can possibly get. Absolutely NOBODY who is considering attending a protest should be told to stay home.

  I attend protests all the time. Ever since my early 20s (which was over 15 years ago) I’ve made it a point to attend at least 1 protest every month. For the past 8 years that’s been closer to weekly than monthly. I have plenty of experience at protests. My question here is solely about the phrasing for my sign.

  If you’re afraid responsible for the well-being of other people and can’t afford to of being arrested, stay home do what you’re doing and weigh the risks, seek advice and knowledge to safely make your voice heard. We need the brave all types, not cowards impassioned people with less to lose may choose to protest through higher risk activities, but not everyone needs to go that route at this point.

  You think being brave is not being afraid? In this case, not being afraid means you’re dumb, not brave.

    Right? How can one be brave if they’re not afraid? Isn’t the definition of bravery doing a thing even though you’re scared to?
