Help me decide on a sign for the No Kings protest

An idea for the flip side of a sign is the upside down US flag signaling distress.

Love the “…protect and defend the Constitution of the United States” as it can’t be spun otherwise.

Me, going back to hardcore punk days, the band MDC had a song born to die. Relevant lyrics “No War, No KKK, No fascist USA”

MDC upgraded the lyrics is Trump 1.0 to “No trump, no KKK, no fascist USA”

Is it too late to have a bunch of these printed up?

How about this version of the VA state seal. ChatGPT screwed up several times in my attempts to make this, the more violent versions closer to the original seal tended to get censored or came out crappy. And the censor absolutely tripped every time I tried to have it draw Virtus in her original clothing.

That is awsome.

I kicked around a few sign ideas, even mocking a couple up in Photoshop. But this has been one of those weeks at work and I realized I was just not gonna get it done as well as I wanted. So in the spirit of flag day and what’s going on here in socal, I ordered a big-ass California Republic flag and a telescoping pole with Comfort Grip™.

I really wanted the historical version from the Bear Flag Revolt, where Californian independence was proclaimed 179 years ago this Saturday, but couldn’t get it in time.

America: No Kings Since 1776!

(I saw a similar slogan on a hat for sale online)

I really like this icon, but I wish it had higher resolution.

ChatGPT made this for me:

I’m thinking of a graphic of Trump with a Kim Jong Un haircut with the text “No Kims Either”:

Yes, the crown especially is a little fuzzy. It was only a “quick-n-dirty” attempt that I knocked off in about five minutes.

However, @Ponderoid has provided a much sharper, and IMHO, better example than mine. If you go with such a sign, then I suggest you use that one, rather than mine.

Thank you all so much! You’ve been a great help. Reading through these has really gelled what I want to say and what is most important to me. Also helped me keep laughing through a very serious process. :wink:

I’m refining my Tiananmen idea based upon something sparked by a convo with TypoKnig. It’s Shopping bag man, but the head of the tank is an elephant head, and the cannon is his trunk. The words are “Constitution or Party?” with Party in red. Everybody say a little prayer to the Gods and Godesses of Art that I manage to convey this properly. LOL!

That would work :grinning_face:

Honk if you think Trump is a moron!

I saw someone on the first day of the ICE protests with a blank piece of cardboard. Someone in Ukraine at the start of that war did the same thing, and they were arrested, not surprisingly.

Mine just says “NO KINGS HERE” with a picture of a crown I printed, and a no-parking sign over it.

“It will always be the Gulf of Mexico to me.”

My favorite from today was “Expectations were low but Holy Fuck Dude”.

Someone has been reading “The Cloak of Anarchy."

Weird. That is slightly elongated on the horizontal axis. No idea why. But anyway, thanks for all the help guys! Everyone seemed to “get” it, and several people stopped and asked to take photos of it. We had a good afternoon with lots of great neighbors.
