𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 — 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆

"F***" feels right. It carries fury, disgust, and dismissal all at once. The problem is that it shuts brains down in the people we most need to reach. We're not preaching to the choir. We're trying to open minds.

Good substitutes that carry the same energy:

• Screw this

• Damn this

• To hell with this

• Done

• Axe it

• Kill the bill

• Hell no

• Enough

𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻-𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀

• Keep messages short

• Use dark letters or graphics on a bright background

• Make the text large and readable

• Use humor — everyone likes a good laugh

𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘀

• Freedom!

• Protect the Rule of Law

• No Kings since 1776

• No Kings in America

• No Kings – No Dictators

• Stop Protecting the Pedo-files

• Patriots Unite

• Fight Ignorance – Not Immigrants

• Honk if you love . . .

• Illegal War

• Honk For Peace

𝗙𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀

• Use similar items together (e.g. Democracy, not Monarchy)

• Strike back with their own words (e.g. Love Trumps Hate)

• Rhymes are catchy (e.g. No Crown for a Clown)

𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹. 𝗡𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹. 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲.

Does anyone else forget that they have the perfect tool for the job? I’ve been struggling with my 5" sander and this straight garbage Gator 80 grit sandpaper, and completely forgot I’ve had this giant 6" Ridgid ROS sander for several years. It’s excessive for most of what I sand so I never use it. Now I’m thinking back to those end grain cutting boards I was working on last winter. Damnit.
