The GOP has a trick of turning everything bad into a good result. Take "deplorables" for example. They are proud to be the deplorables. Let them say whatever the hell they want to say and throw it back at them.

That's No Angry Mob! That's My Sister.....

that's why we're angry

angry mob.

just the trump thugs who will accuse demorats of being snowflakes and angry mobs at the same time. facts don't matter to them.

the best is to ridicule them .

Nov 6th and we all must do OUR PART

hand wringing and such won't make that happen

Bart as "just an angry left-wing mob" and therefore something that just needs to be suppressed and ignored. Presumably this will be their new catch-phrase as they crack down on any kind of protest against this administration.

I just find it super-ironic for them to use the word "mob," considering their Dear Leader's "business" connections.

This is an angry mob:

We have the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

They don't control our character. WE do. Your goddamn right I'm angry. Any one with half a brain can see the authoritarian one party rule repukes want.

The next step is kick the doors of their castle and burn them out.

We're not a mob. Yes angry but very organized and motivated placing candidates in EVERY election. The mob rule comes from conservatives. Have you seen those rallies? Steaming pile Hump says all manner of angry and outrageous things and the crowds cheer.

I'm not scared of conservative rhetoric. I'm scared of the placemnet of over 40 conservative federal judges. I'm scared that no legislation is debated but rushed through to a vote so the white power structure can remain entrenched.

Messaging is important.

Ignoring it has NOT worked for us.

responding to the childish taunts is the losing strategy. STOP letting the right control the dialogue. I am not going to explain I'm not part of an angry mob. That's being goaded into a dialogue conservatives want. I go on the offensive. You support white supremacists, your for kidnapping and jailing children, you are supporting a foreign policy that weakens the US and strengthens Russia.

Don't defend superfluous taunts. Make then defend ACTUAL corrupt behavior.

The ways and means of it are open to discussion.

after it. imho.

they're branding us. if that branding is successful, they'll start running ads about "restoring decency" and "bring back civility" and "protect us from the mob".

oh, and we can forget about attacking the rank hypocrisy -- that is irrelevant.

and It's hard to understand how that's been allowed to continue.

Them up and leave them Without a message... looking foolish

Show pictures of the tea party lunatics erupting in rage at every town hall meeting in 2010. Show who the angry mobs actually are. Stop letting them control the narrative and cowering in fear.

Throw it back in their faces.

Attendees to Trumps rallies wear T-Shirts that say "I'd rather be a Russian than a Democrat" and "He can grab this" (arrow pointed down) but liberals aren't supposed to be outraged? They are gleeful that TODDLERS are taken from their parents and I'm supposed to take the high ground?

Fuck that. Bill Maher is right. We don't fight back hard enough. Kick them in the nuts and keep kicking till their nuts are pulp, then kick some more for good measure.

I totally agree. Embrace it and roar at them and tell them the mob is coming for all the corrupt assholes whonare trying to take down our government.

And my response will be...


Yeah? Get enough snowflakes together and we will avalanche on your ass, so be careful what you wish for, dumbass. And while you're at it, stop voting against your own self interest, slush face.

or something to that effect.

do.

I was lucky to be born into the internet age or I'd never get to say what I mean!

I've heard that torches are racist. May be able to pull off the pitchfork thing though.

and you are from a tiny, Hessian village.

Otherwise, it's perfectly mainstream.

That sounds bumper-stickerish....

Like it

Time to stand up and hit back.

We win they shut up,

It's a perfect phrase and should be on shirts, signs, in writing in the sky over DC.

I like the word determined rather than angry. It's a good word to use if you're doing an on-air interview or writing a LTTE or op-ed.

But whenever possible, no matter how unfair it is, I would urge protestors to remember how disciplined people were in the civil rights movement of the 1960's. Blacks knew they had to dress up, wear suits, or else they would be mischaracterized as an angry mob.

Maybe those of us who are used to the privilege of being taken seriously no matter how we dress should realize that in a protest, that privilege is diminished.

I'm thinking out loud here. I've never dressed up for a protest except when I was running for local office, but I'm thinking it's time for me to start.

to being in cahoots with the Russian mob.

I'm all for class warfare. The GOP only cares about rich people and fundagelicals.

How'd that work out for them?

safe for POC, safe for children, etc...

More thoughts about that core messaging issue here: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100211252134

we did not have guns or torches with us just our voices.

They are trying to intimidate us but it will not work, we will dig our heels in too.

Have been watching this distressing vitriol from Trump -
My response- yes we are a MOB - Majority Opinion Brigade! We are the majority of the country. Darn straight - we are the Majority Opinion Brigade.

We're glad you decided to join us!

I like it, Majority Opinion Brigade.

Anybody else belong to "Wonkette Snark Mob?"

It was a picture of protesters on the steps of the Supreme Court ("Radical, Angry Mob&quot on top of a picture of the Charlottesville marchers ("Some Very Fine People&quot .

A couple of pictures are worth two thousand words.

and have not found justice through any American agency and certainly not from any political body.

He reframed them, and we keep letting him do it.

"you think THIS is angry? You ain't seen nothin' yet! Just wait till November!"

The repub goons are trying to restrict us to the goody-two-shoes behavior that has hobbled Democrats for decades, with the trump regime being the final result. I'm for more and bigger Democratic mobs, coast to coast, until we prevail against these lawless shitheads. Good conduct is getting us absolutely nowhere.

Defend in passing. Attack in earnest.

And screw the Marquis of Queensbury rules.

People I know who are not total blithering idiots who support the orange Jesus will let that term invade their beliefs. Saying Democrats are violent Republicans are not. That should not be the direction we are going in that debate.

We are angry, very angry. Let the rw be scared because we are coming for them.

Majority oppose Kavanaugh.
Majority believe Dr. Christine Ford.
Senators voting AGAINST Kavanaugh represent the majority of Americans.
Majority voted against Trump in 2016.

WITH GUNS NO LESS. Dems need to bring up what a fucking mob really IS. These are MOBS 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻


Racist ass Tea Party MOB member whose not packing heat THIS TIME?



TEA PARTY MOB MEMBER WITH A GUN.



Fucking racist MOB member with a damn confederate RAG.



More Tea Party MOB members with fucking guns.



Fox said that there were no examples of TEA PARTY RACISM. WELL, look at this racist TEA PARTY MOB SHIT RIGHT HERE:



I could go on and on with examples of armed TEA PARTY MOBS, but this is enough.

DAMMIT, DEMS HAVE TO HAVE BETTER AND MORE TO THE POINT MESSAGING.

TALK ABOUT REAL MOBS: RACIST TEA PARTY MOBS, ONLY THEY'RE PACKING HEAT.

...we don't go forceful enough with calling them an angry mob (which they are and have been for years now) because we are trying to be nice. Then they turn around and do it to us. We were not forceful enough with the fake news thing and then they turned around and made it their own.

Again, this is all about our willingness to go for the throat first before they do it to us. Our reluctance to do that is killing us and will continue to kill us until we find people who are willing, able, and ready to fight dirty and get down in the mud. Not to wait to react to see what they do first.

We SHOULD be marching on Washington with pitchforks so to speak. I don't mean violence. Not at all. But these people need to know we mean business. Give them no peace. Anywhere. Harass them in the john, the elevator, the stairwell, trying to eat endless neverending non stop until they are hiding under their desks.

We Democrats should respond by saying we are now the party of the U.S. Constitution and that Republicans are the ones trying to destroy the Constitution. These people are not angry mobs, but Americans citizens expressing their constitutional rights to free speech and assembly. We need to make this a debate about defending the Constitution and democracy.

Especially when that’s exactly why they do it.

The correct response is to laugh at their obvious attempts.

Surely you know by now that they are going to smear us no matter what we do. If not "angry mob," then something else. Their smears are so confusing, we are both snowflakes and an angry mob. Are we supposed to fret about every ridiculous label they slap on us? When we fret about how they are labeling us, we are put on the defensive and we lose.

They can play their fiddles all they want, but we don't have to dance to their tune.

as a mob!

and then roll tape of the gun-toting numbskulls at town halls and the ones who literally charged the stages and shouted down candidates.

The commercials make themselves...

...with love power

Period. We Are Angry and Not All Mobs are a Bad Thing.

mob? That just means protesting in solidarity in this case.

Or involved citizens.

pictures of the most recent anti-Kav protest, especially with the "very good people on both sides" lunatic quote of Dear Leader himself.

I saw one like this posted on DU a couple of days back. I wish I could find it, but it was INCREDIBLY powerful for Dems, independents and the decent Repubs out there that are appalled.

Dems: you need to spin the sh*t out of this as truth is on our side. Do not let them swiftboat this.

Bill of Rights, First amendment of our Constitution:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances

The accusation that we are an angry mob is for the purpose of scaring their authoritarian followers-who are afraid of disorder and are more likely to vote and vote against us if we seem out of control. Republicans will try to provoke us to violence.

The answer always is to speak of peaceful non-violent protest, and act and mobilize peacefully.

Paraphrase Barry Goldwater. Anger in Defense of Liberty is no vice.

Anger is not a crime, opposing tyranny is a duty, the role of the citizen is to assemble peaceably to petition the government for redress of grievances.

I think we can just ignore it... like a cut lip while shaving, it's a benign annoyance given weight by irrational concern.
