Take the day off, don't buy anything, don't attend school. Go out and make your voice heard. Get organized people!

Webster did you put that weird junk in your post title? I wonder if it's malware-related.

It's kind of petty. A little kiddie version of protest, and the only ones who will afford to do so are people being propped up by their parents or something anyway, realistically. Skipping out on a class you've paid for or a job that's paying you does not even remotely fix the issue you're supposedly raising hell for. What's the actual end goal? Just to share your distaste with the results of the election by taking a day off? Who will care? The teachers? The manager at McDonald's who is 2 people short for the shift? Second rate news to the inauguration itself anyway.
I'm not against protest or anything, but this would be going about it in an angsty fashion and not doing much.

tbh, the election just didn't cut it and I'm jonesing for more political action. I've already started volunteering doing something constructive I care about. But the prospect of getting in near the ground floor of the new left and being vocal about my dissent for once, especialliy in these turbulent times. Admittedly, it gets me a little hard 
Worst case scenario: a couple spoiled, angsty brats skip a day at their McJob and nobody gives a flying fuck. Middling scenario: a modest number of civic-minded people hold an unremarkable protest and form some connections Best case scenario: We revolt and seize the means of production

This is a terrifyingly stupid idea.... What the Sam hell is wrong with our culture? How quickly we forget there are people who would literally KILL to have a job, a class, money to buy stuff or just stuff to buy available. Dick

I think I've heard of this being done before like years ago for something else. I don't think anyone did it then, I don't think anyone'll do it this time either.

As long as you contribute 2/3 of your hemp to the greater good you can do what you like with the last 1/3.
