Never knew Republicans were so sensitive.....
Republicans who once mocked āsafe spacesā are feeling sensitive over protests
The abrupt shift of power from liberal America to conservative America has, overnight, created a new sensitivity on the right and a new toughness on the left. After years of derision about āsafe spacesā and āspecial snowflakes,ā conservatives are bemoaning insults from the left, and Republican legislators are debating new restrictions on public protests.
Much of the tone shift has come from the new president. Like no one else who has held the office in the TV era, Trump has publicly obsessed over slights, from mockery on āSaturday Night Liveā to fact checks of his crowd size.

Amen brother. I had a co-worker conservative go off on us yesterday for discussing politics in the lunchroom. He said, "why don't you let the Republicans lead? You lost, move on, get over it".
But that doesn't mean that we should ignore things like collusion with Russia, does it?
And it's funny because we don't even have enough people in the senate or house to stop Republicans from passing whatever they want to pass. So I think they are frustrated with themselves. But of course they'll blame the media and liberals.
Anyways, it isn't just us liberals who are not happy with the shit going on in the white house. Republicans are putting up with it but I can bet you anything if Michelle Obama colluded with Russia you can bet they Republicans would have impeached him.
Dem Senator: GOP Frustration With Donald Trump 'Ready To Boil Over' | HuffPost
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) says his Republican colleaguesā growing frustration with President
Donald Trumpās āmisbehaviorā could soon reach a fever pitch.
Whitehouse said Thursday that many GOP members of Congress are becoming āincreasingly fed upā with the fallout created by ever-emerging scandals connected to the White House.
āThe temperature is climbing in Congress among Republicans,ā Whitehouse said during an appearance on MSNBCās āMorning Joe.ā āI think itās getting ready to boil over.ā
The unconventional ā and potentially illegal ā meeting is only the latest scandal to plague the White House as several federal agencies investigate potential ties between Trump associates and Russian government officials during Trumpās 2016 presidential campaign.
Many Republican lawmakers have either refused to comment on the Trump Jr. meeting or dismissed its significance, but some have expressed irritation.
āItās sucking the oxygen out of the room, everybody knows that,ā Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.)
told CNN about the story. āI think itās very difficult when you have this overwhelming barrage of new information that unfolds every few days.ā
Whitehouse, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, one of the groups tasked with investigating potential Trump-Russia links, accused the White House of stonewalling the committeeās inquiries.
He said the committeeās chairman, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), was getting āpretty damned personally irritatedā by the lack of response from the White House.
