in Spanish, but that's not the point. It's the American voter and politician that is the audience for the protest, so communicating with them in English is the easiest way. Believe me, I live in CA and understand that there is nothing wrong with speaking Spanish. Most people I know are bilingual. But we have to consider the goal of influencing public opinion.

If influencing public opinion is the goal, and if people will be more likely to fight against tyranny based on our fashion statements or decorum. I think we are way, way past that point. We shall see. I'd love to be wrong.

What is the approved apparel, so that we don't incite any MAGA cultists to violence or get negative coverage on Fox? We wouldn't want any signs that might hurt people's feelings.

That sort of apparel and behavior didn't seem to hurt the MAGA movement.
