Setsubun (Feb. 3) Japanese festival driving away demons -- the red ogre is Trump.
Paper demon (oni) masks with packages of dried soybeans or peanuts are sold to take home, someone puts on the mask and acts scary and everyone else throws the beans or nuts at them yelling, Demons out! Good luck in! (Oni wa soto! Fuku wa uchi!). I think everyone in the world should adopt this custom and scream TRUMP OUT! DEMOCRATS IN! while throwing nuts at Trump when his evil visage appears on screen. Just in case it helps.
Here's Setsubun festival at a shrine with Trump & oni friends driven out by a Shinto priest with an arrow and then bean-throwing.
