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 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.
