Mooning a building seems like an odd way to protest anything. If Trump were going to be in town, I could understand mooning him, but to just show your ass to the side of a building, I’m not sure I understand the point it’s making. Also, I’d be hesitant to sign up (that is, use my name) for anything that could potentially be considered nudity. ---

I don’t know, this could be an interesting form of non-violent protest. Especially if combined with the Flash Mob concept. Quick, quiet assembly, buttocks exposed, quick, quiet dispersal. No signs, no talking, but the message is clear. ---

I’m about 30 or 40 minutes away, I’ll stay home and do it from my backyard. My neighbors won’t know what the hell I’m aiming at, but they probably think I’m an oddball already anyway. ---

> [@Patx2](#): > > When does it stop? Mooning a building? Really? Enough already When Trump is out of power. Trump is particularly weak to ridicule, so that is the tool being used. The ideal goal is that he gets so stressed out by it, due to his narcissistic personality disorder, that he cracks under the pressure. But, even if he doesn’t, he is easily distracted by these sorts of things, and it keeps him from fucking us up even more. He can’t let anything go. This attempt may seem absurd, but doing something different keeps it in the news, to help avoid protest fatigue. ---
