I just listened to talking heads on CNN

this morning about how there is nothing to be gained by fighting back and how it is just a trap to act like Trump.

I wanted to ask them, well, what did the GOOD Germans do during the rise of Hitler? Let's do the opposite, shall we?

If they mean, throwing insults like Trump does or harassing Trump Admin members, I tend to agree. It may make you feel better, but it doesn't change the dynamics of the 2018 Election.

Stephanie Wilkinson Democratically politely asked SFS to leave her restaurant because of the Content of her character.

Maybe it was David Chadian ? Claiming that the Dems can’t out-trump trump and Dems should try to “elevate the dialogue just a little bit”.

Duh.
Like EIGHT YEARS OF THE MOST CIVILIZED POLITE PRESIDENT WE’VE EVER HAD?

WORLD WRESTLING MATCH, “Entering the CNN media ring now we have President of the U.S. vs a congresswoman..” “president of the United States Vs. a restaurant owner...”

NO! President vs President.
Representative vs. Representative.
Restaurant owner vs. Restaurant owner.
That’s the matchup. QUIT your PHONY comparisons.

Rep. Joe Wilson shouted “You lie!” at the State of the Union when President Obama was proposing a health care plan.

Rep. Maxine Waters encouraged a crowd at a rally to make Cabinet members feel unwelcome in public, to push back on Trumps kiddie prison program.

Maxine: “If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd, and you push back on them," she said at the event, which was filmed and shared on YouTube.
"You tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere," the California congresswoman said, calling for Mr Trump's impeachment during the same speech.

The irony burns:

GOP Rep. Kinzinger on CNN (Jun 26, 8:25 am EST). Allow people to go out to eat at a restaurant, for gods sake, it’s a really basic thing we do in America.

Yeah. Good idea. Let families go out to eat together. Some of them would probably be ecstatic just to be sharing an apple or a sandwich on the side of the road somewhere. Or a taco.

drumph is calling them (or their colleagues) the "enemy of the people".

That is the only "news" they should report.

And like Trump, they sow chaos to entrench themselves and incrementally build power. Trump is doing this daily and he needs to stopped. This coming election is our best bet but it's far from a sure thing. The deception machine is in high gear with false arguments and choices and Trump's base is getting foaming at the mouth energized. They need to completely vanquished. Let's show them that their fascism is not welcome here.
