We all need to start collectively working on our insult game.
Yelling “fuck you” and “go home” over and over again is something these people can train themselves to ignore. People need to start roasting them like insult comics.
And remember to address key sore spots: domestic abuse, fragile masculinity and daddy issues.
And for some quick inspiration, consider the following exchanges from a recent episode of Shoresy...
additional ammo: they peaked in middle school, can't find the clit, and their children are already planning to go no contact at 18.
This old veteran went hard on some sloppy ICE ass, bellowing like a sgt first class the whole time:
By the time he's yelling Shoot me, bitch! they're just backing away from him as a group, they can't take it.

That whole speech is great, but "You look like a fucking soup sandwich!" has got to be one of the funniest insults I've heard in a while. I'm definitely keeping that for the right moment.
"This is why your sister cheats on you"
"Better let them have the kid's menu, they don't read so good."
"See how he's dressed? That's how you know he's ashamed of his dick".
"This one's still mad his sister refused to give him a handjob in 7th grade."
"Nice mask, it really highlights your wife beater eyes."
"This is what I was talking about, little Billy. C's get degrees, D's get you gestures whatever these manlets are."
"So this is what insecurity looks like."
Yeah. What seems to.pretty consistently make them run for the hills isn't insults, but laughter. When people are yelling in fear and anger, fascists feel powerful. But when people laugh, they feel weak and vulnerable.
It also makes it a lot harder for them to justify violence. You say they need to be hanged and they'll claim you were threatening them and kill you. But it's harder to make that argument when there's video of a crowd laughing at mockery.
Why do you think Trump hates comedians so much?
"Nice cosplay, did you fail the cop exam?"
"look at this pussy wearing a vest!"
Mines feeds my garden.
