And the merch for the "bystanders" could include barf bags?

This is definitely one of the most creative options I've seen in the non-violent category. My violent, rageful side says turn it into a modern Haman story (see Purim), but I have committed to remaining peaceful today for the HandsOff protest.

Trump is deranged. If this could happen (it is up to New York officials, not me), I think it might tone down some of his more outrageous actions. He is acting out of rage because he feels his genius is not appreciated. So, if people respect him in this way, who knows? Of course, we have to continue our anti-Trump activities too!

Unfortunately, sociopaths don't just peak and then quickly normalize going forward. They are constant and unwavering in their pathology.

Thanks - you may be right - just trying to think of something to distract him or slow him down for a bit. I personally think this will do that and at little cost. But New York City officials, and many others, will have to agree - there is nothing I can do by myself.
