let's think this through together.

- eggs
- tomatoes
- *oranges
- *bananas

- !rhetoric
things that should not be thrown at trump supporters
- glass of any type
- bottles
- pets
- wild animals
- children
- muslims
- migrant workers
- #gavels
* - peeled, only
! - ymmv
# - non-rhetorically
i just want to reiterate that this is entirely appropriate.
these are people that are publicly supporting an open bigot. you have an obligation to make them feel uncomfortable.
just keep your elbows down. which is canadian for "don't throw glass shards at heads full of rocks".
it goes back to what i've said about trump normalizing the absurd. if he can convince you that his discourse is acceptable, the country is already done.
it's one thing to stand back and passively let him win, then start fighting him the next day. it's another thing to show up at the rallies and actively support what he's saying. that can't be seen as socially acceptable. the fact that he's running a major party isn't any kind of excuse for it.
so, there has to be an appropriate and proportional response. i think tossing tomatoes and eggs at supporters is within those bounds.
boycotting business is within those bounds. termination of employment may be, as well.
but no glass. no molotovs...
