Ive mentioned a few times in the past how I keep a radio next to my bed and, when I wake up in the morning, I turn on the one local station which has (CBS) national news at the top of the hour, followed by a few minutes of local news and the local weather.
The bad thing is that their programming is right wing (Limbaugh, etc). Even their local hosts are right wing. Unfortunately this morning I didnt get the radio turned off before hearing the local host say Real Americans dont demonstrate against the President and inviting listeners to a gathering today of a new organization called Hope and Freedom which is forming to protest lefty street demonstrations.
He said Hope and Freedom will not hold street demonstrations (because thats a lefty thing), but Hope and Freedom will hold street gatherings.
He said real Americans go vote and, once a President is elected, real Americans unite as a country and support the President.
WTF? Were supposed to just forget the existence the Tea Party and the damage they've done?
Its worse than Alice in Wonderland.
Its Trump in the White House.

(35,350 posts)Real Americans can and do protest. The protesters are as much "we the people" as those who decry their protesting and even as much as those they're protesting against.
At the same time, I don't do the "attribution error" thang and assume that the protesters protesting a president I like are somehow less than human or have only horrible motives. Not every protester against Obama was against his skin color, for example.
Not going to be a fun 4 years.

(4,492 posts)"Real Americans" protest the POTUS by wearing tricorner hats draped in teabags. Fake Americans wear pink knitted hats with cat ears.
