Have Democrats finally grown some balls? They through with the You go low and We go high nonsense?

[EvilCat Breath]

Nudge the left into ever growing uprisings of violence. When we get to general uprisings the Bill of Rights can be suspended just like Lincoln did during the last civil war.

The latest sign of political divide: shaming and shunning public officials

David Axelrod, a key architect of Barack Obama's presidential campaigns, tweeted that he disagreed with those cheering the restaurant's eviction of Sanders. "I am kind of amazed and appalled by the number of folks on Left who applauded the expulsion," he tweeted. "This, in the end, is a triumph for @realDonaldTrump vision of America: Now we're divided by red plates & blue plates!​

David is patently right. The politics of discrimination are not a good sight on either side, and they are playing into the hands of those who thrive on discrimination and widening and deepening divisions. This kind of politics will inevitably play out to the detriment of those who traditionally insist on inclusion, and to the detriment of those who are the most vulnerable, and most likely to be shown the door. In case the recent harassment of GOP officials take hold, and with the consent of Democrats, the latter also will look like hypocrites trying to defend gays or folks of color being thrown out.

Of course, the GOP - the party of Trumpletons, lately - has gone completely bananas. That's no reason for Democrats to follow their lead.

Gawd, I hope so.

Yes, you're in the mud, down there with the people you loathe.
Funny thing, the mud makes you all look the same.
How proud you must be.

And they control the country. And are destroying it in ways that will take years for us to recover from.
Trump is way, way worse than George Bush.

Which, of course, has nothing to do with my point.
.

My point is that it's worked for them again and again.

Remember what they did to John Kerry? Smeared his service.

When he was asked why he wouldn't fight back against the slander, he said the American people know. I don't have to defend against such attacks.

Turns out he did.

And Republicans, even today, believe he was some kind of traitor who gave himself medals. They don't even know how it works. They just believe the lies.

Democrats don't have to lie. But they have to fight back. Fight ignorance with knowledge. There is nothing wrong with pointing out that the Trump Foundation is under criminal investigation. Nothing wrong with pointing out Trump's lies and his child kidnapping policies.

Fighting back where they are doesn't mean we have to be slinging mud.

Instead, and here's a novelty. Sling TRUTH.

But we can disagree and keep it civil. Chasing people like Sarah out of a restaurant is as bad as denying blacks service at a lunch counter in the 50's and '60s.

You would think. But we've just lost that ability.

The bias now is towards rage and hatred and hostility. That's a choice we're making, we're not being forced.

Is the Democrat's "Turn the Other Cheek" philosophy finally over? Are they now gonna fight back?
It was only days ago Republicans were cheering when gays were denied a service. It seems they party when an unarmed black is shot. Was abusing babies and children, finally, a step too far?

Look at what Democrats have done.
Pam Bondi, the Attorney General who Trump illegally gave 25 thousand dollars to, to not join the Trump U Civil Suit, was recently chased from a Movie Theater.

Avowed Racist, Steve Miller, architect of Trump's Anti Muslim and unconstitutional travel ban was chased from a Mexican Restaurant.

Sarah Sanders was booed and shunned.

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was chased from a Mexican Restaurant.

It's not like it's new. Remember when an Ice Cream shop told Joe Biden to stay away? Then you have blacks that were denied service.

Remember when Mike Pence, now vice president, put a 250 million dollar scare into businesses in Indiana with his draconian anti gay laws that were not only passed, but quickly repealed?

Democrats have been taking it for a long time not wanting to divide the nation. But is it finally over. Republicans are 90% white and constantly attack minorities. Have Democrats finally had enough?

Gawd, I hope so.

And what the fuck are you going to say when all your hate inspires another baseball field shooter or worse? Or are you pushing for a civil war?


.

Soros is pushing for civil war. His mindless zombies, like Dean, are "just following orders"

Yea, mindless zombies:

Soros thinks he won't get hurt in a civil war, or maybe he just doesn't care about himself any longer.

Is that they magic word? Soros? What does that even mean?

Police push back against Trump's law-and-order speech

Trump tells cops they should rough people up more during arrests

Dean remember when Soros ordered you to tell us about "Alt Right" . It's just a different set of orders

It's wrong to do that to people -- the democrats will lose every election come November.

It's patriotic for Republicans to shame and attack people -- Democrats are supposed to be quiet and civil

While I agree there's something to the comparison, no, it isn't "as bad". Sarah has lot of other outfits to choose from, since the exclusion isn't systematic. Moreover, it's still a huge difference if discrimination happens against a generally disfavored group, or, as we've seen, an instance of kicking upward.

Not long ago groups of black people would descend on nice restaurants to harass diners who just wanted a peaceful brunch. It was called black brunch. It stopped when people started fighting back. This too will end when people start fighting back and knocking heads together.

I see an incident that happened over 50 years ago.

Fox News commentator apologizes for racist remark

Look at that. A Republican apologizing to a black man for his racist remark. Shock and awe.

There are probably 1000 common words or phrases that would be perfectly acceptable if said to a white person but are considered racist when said to a black person. People need to know when to turn on their "I'm talking to a black person" filter.

Because saying "have you lost your cotton picking mind" to a black man needs a filter.

Or describing them as "uppity".

Or calling them tar baby.

I have never, ever heard these phrases used against white people. Not ever.

You are uppity!

I know. That's why USMB Republicans hate me so. They can't handle the truth.

It's sickening when Police shoot and kill unarmed black men and then Republicans say there should be accountability on BOTH sides.

Huh? BOTH sides?

When one side shoots the unarmed, there is only one side.
