This is all funny until you do it. Trying this kind of shit in 2009 as I was starting to fully transition got me a full swing baseball bat to my hip. I laid there for maybe 30 mins before I could crawl to a phone.

From a safety standpoint, please don't do this. Just flip them off as you walk away and then vote as if your life depends on it, because it just may.

This is why everyone who isn't a cis hetero white Christian man absolutely needs to buy a gun and learn how to use it. It's your job to defend yourself. (Don't get me wrong, allies are great, and people should be helping each other against the bigots, but end of the day, you're alone, gotta defend yourself)

Edit: also, I'm really sorry that happened, not trying to blame the victim, just advocating for people taking their power back

In most countries you can't buy a gun. Then again in most places that kind of violence carries significant jail time.
