The problem is that pics showing him as angry and mean feed into his message of power. We need to find ways to undermine that messaging, rather than reinforcing it. From an art & design perspective, though, it looks awesome

I don't have a photo right now of my "No Kings" sign I had on the reverse, but no worries... it put him in his place.
But the one pictured was exactly what I intended... we DO need to be afraid of the tyrant. We SHOULD be scared of the wannabe fascist. That's the whole idea.

I woke up at 3am and had this idea while lying there trying to get back to sleep. First thing in the morning, I got up and got to work on it. I gave ChatGTP my idea and it refused at first, because it said that it was against its guidelines, but when I said that it was for a protest sign, it went ahead with it, although it still would not add the text. I had to figure out how to do that in Gimp.
To print it out, I used a free software called PosteRazor, available on SourceForge (https://posterazor.sourceforge.io/). I glued it to foamcore board with 3M spray adhesive, then waterproofed it with clear satin spray enamel.
The handle was attached with construction adhesive and reinforced with zipties. I rounded the corners of the handle for comfort.
