I strongly believe that this movement needs some epic, historical, unstoppable chants and slogans. I also believe that recent history proves that such chants and slogans tend to follow a simple formula: 3 words only, each word being only one syllable.

Here are the most impactful chants of the last few decades:

  • Yes We Can.
  • Feel The Bern.
  • Eat The Rich.
  • Drain The Swamp.
  • Build The Wall.

These appeal to short attention spans. They are emotional. Sometimes they even imply a policy. They fit on a hat or t shirt or bumper sticker. They are ear worms. They have lasted.

When we make them wordier, they can make for a fun meme or moment, but history forgets them quickly.

I propose we mass brainstorm similar three word chants for the issues and policies of the day, until a winning chant is adopted by a charismatic leader to challenge Trump. I hope you all encourage your peers to workshop along these lines until a clear winner emerges within the movement.

Here are a few suggestions to kick things off:

  • No More Kings.
  • Let Goods Flow.
  • Free Means All.
  • Rise Or Fall.

If you have an idea or suggestion, please share in the comments. If you join a protest, see if any of these stick. We’re all in this together!

    Google’s Gemini or whatever the fuck AI will provide them with whatever shit AI barfs up. And somewhere within the AI suggestion and the top 5 results, they’ll just scan through to the first entry that suits their views.

    Then they’ll just throw whatever garbage they found that suits their views in your face. Those sort of people are unfortunately very common, they’re the type that won’t double and triple check information first. They already formed their opinions…

    Google is NOT the answer, not anymore anyways…
