i know I’ve never not served someone in any of my places regardless of what they ordered or looked like. Politics has no place in food, everyone eats regardless of their personal views. Leave it for Twitter and the newsroom and the courts, people shouldn’t be harassed while living their private lives.
INTOLERANCE based on anything (other acting like a COMPLETE IDIOT) is unacceptable. Suck it up snowflake. Life is unfair. You had your turn.
Clamping down on the POOR and DISADVANTAGED by LYING right to their faces? By making it all about COUNTRY? Borderlines? One against the other? That shit is stupid and sad. Played out as well.

how do you combat that without fighting the same way? it failed in 2016, and it continues to fail in 2018.
Everything they've done has been reactionary. and when all you do is react, your opponent remains ahead.
do I agree with Maxine waters? No. even though she has now said she was not encouraging violence, the message remains. You put something like that out there, and people will respond in ways you didn't anticipate.
But maybe she's onto something.
How do you fight it? Well... when doing my best to think about it objectively, I don't really think you do. I'm not convince there is any good way for the Dems to confront this kind of craziness effectively or even close to effectively. It's horrible having to solution to something, but I'm starting to think there really is no solution, other than the American public fucking pulling its shit together. I'm not terribly confident that they can do that, which is why I think this may be clearly marked as the beginning of America's decline in the history books. But I do hope they can do it. I hope America somehow reaches a new age of reason or enlightenment or something... I just don't know how. Given the circumstances, the Dems aren't going to be able to pull it off no matter how hard they try.
today I'm "fucking kick them in the neck!"

I think he's way more likely to be re-elected than to resign (will never happen) or impeached (possible but unlikely). The democrats better have a great strategy to beat him because simply trying to point out how bad he is isn't going to work (like Kerry tried against Bush). I assume that most of his voters feel he's done alright. I doubt he's gaining much new support, but the democrats probably aren't either. I guess the mid-terms will give us a better idea of that. But the democrats really need someone that people can get excited for. They had that in Bernie, but he wasn't their chosen one.Halifax2TheMax said:

Because what Team Trump Treason calls Hillary has no relevance to Team Mueller’s investigation and impending charges that will eventually lead to impeachment proceedings. So until Team Trump Treason is removed from office or completely cleared by Tesm Mueller, he’s Triple T or T Cubed or TTT or Team Trump Treason to me. He’s brought this on himself and it’s not some made up born in Kenya shit.Ledbetterman10 said:

I love the rationale that democrats have to be civil to people who are empowering:
White Supremacy
Nationalism
Isolationism
Homophobia
Nuclear Threats
Kidnapping
Threatening to suspend due process
Enabling people to discriminate
Gerrymandering
Yeah....Democrats are so rude when they speak up in disagreement with those things.

But on a similar note, there are few things that annoy and infuriate me more when these right-wing nuts try to accuse "liberals" of being intolerant of them, as though being tolerant of their intolerance (re the list above) is 'taking the high road' in their minds. And they accuse them of being to blame for the division in America with that argument. ARGH!

Ha. You're going to keep hanging your hat on something nobody cares about anymore.

We Have a Crisis of Democracy, Not Manners
Last year, the white nationalist Richard Spencer was kicked out of his Virginia gym after another member confronted him and called him a Nazi. This incident did not generate a national round of hand-wringing about the death of tolerance, perhaps because most people tacitly agree that it’s O.K. to shun professional racists.
It’s a little more complicated when the professional racist is the president of the United States. The norms of our political life require a degree of bipartisan forbearance. But treating members of Donald Trump’s administration as ordinary public officials rather than pariahs does more to normalize bigotry than exercising alongside a white separatist.
Over the last week, several Trump administration officials and supporters have been publicly shamed. On Friday night, the Trump press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was asked to leave a farm-to-table restaurant in Lexington, Va. That morning, protesters blasted a recording of sobbing migrant kids outside the home of Kirstjen Nielsen, Trump’s secretary of homeland security.
A few days before that, Nielsen left an upscale Mexican restaurant near the White House after protesters confronted her, chanting, “If kids don’t eat in peace, you don’t eat in peace!” The Trump adviser Stephen Miller was also yelled at in a Mexican restaurant — someone called him a fascist, though he may not regard that as an insult. The same night that Sanders was denied service, Pam Bondi, Florida’s Trump-supporting attorney general, was heckled outside a movie theater where she’d gone to see a documentary about Mister Rogers. Adding to the furor, Representative Maxine Waters, a California Democrat, urged people to keep jeering at members of Trump’s cabinet when they’re out and about, saying, “You tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”
Naturally, all this has led to lots of pained disapproval from self-appointed guardians of civility. A Washington Post editorial urged the protesters to think about the precedent they are setting. “How hard is it to imagine, for example, people who strongly believe that abortion is murder deciding that judges or other officials who protect abortion rights should not be able to live peaceably with their families?” it asked.
Of course, this is not hard to imagine at all, since abortion opponents have assassinated abortion providers in their homes and churches, firebombed their clinics and protested at their children’s schools. The Roman Catholic Church has shamed politicians who support abortion rights by denying them communion. The failure to acknowledge this history is a sign of the reflexive false balance that makes it hard for the mainstream media to grapple with the asymmetric extremism of the Republican Party.
I’m somewhat agnostic on the question of whether publicly rebuking Trump collaborators is tactically smart. It stokes their own sense of victimization, which they feed on. It may alienate some persuadable voters, though this is just a guess. (As we saw in the indignant media reaction to Michelle Wolf’s White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner routine, some pundits project their own concern with Beltway decorum onto swing voters, who generally pay less attention to the newsthan partisans.)
Sometimes, their strategies may be poorly conceived. But there’s an abusive sort of victim-blaming in demanding that progressives single-handedly uphold civility, lest the right become even more uncivil in response. As long as our rulers wage war on cosmopolitan culture, they shouldn’t feel entitled to its fruits. If they don’t want to hear from the angry citizens they’re supposed to serve, let them eat at Trump Grill.On the other hand, there’s a moral and psychic cost to participating in the fiction that people who work for Trump are in any sense public servants. I don’t blame staff members at the Virginia restaurant, the Red Hen, for not wanting to help Sanders unwind after a hard week of lying to the public about mass child abuse. Particularly when Sanders’s own administration is fighting to let private businesses discriminate against gay people, who, unlike mendacious press secretaries, are a protected class under many civil rights laws.
Whether or not you think public shaming should be happening, it’s important to understand why it’s happening. It’s less a result of a breakdown in civility than a breakdown of democracy. Though it’s tiresome to repeat it, Donald Trump eked out his minority victory with help from a hostile foreign power. He has ruled exclusively for his vengeful supporters, who love the way he terrifies, outrages and humiliates their fellow citizens. Trump installed the right-wing Neil Gorsuch in the Supreme Court seat that Republicans stole from Barack Obama. Gorsuch, in turn, has been the fifth vote in decisions on voter roll purges and, on Monday, racial gerrymandering that will further entrench minority rule.
All over the country, Republican members of Congress have consistently refused to so much as meet with many of the scared, furious citizens they ostensibly represent. A great many of these citizens are working tirelessly to take at least one house of Congress in the midterms — which will require substantially more than 50 percent of total votes, given structural Republican advantages — so that the country’s anti-Trump majority will have some voice in the federal government.
But unless and until that happens, millions and millions of Americans watch helplessly as the president cages children, dehumanizes immigrants, spurns other democracies, guts health care protections, uses his office to enrich himself and turns public life into a deranged phantasmagoria with his incontinent flood of lies. The civility police might point out that many conservatives hated Obama just as much, but that only demonstrates the limits of content-neutral analysis. The right’s revulsion against a black president targeted by birther conspiracy theories is not the same as the left’s revulsion against a racist president who spread birther conspiracy theories.
Faced with the unceasing cruelty and degradation of the Trump presidency, liberals have not taken to marching around in public with assault weapons and threatening civil war. I know of no left-wing publication that has followed the example of the right-wing Federalist and run quasi-pornographic fantasies about murdering political enemies. (“Close your eyes and imagine holding someone’s scalp in your hands,” began a recent Federalist article.) Unlike Trump, no Democratic politician I’m aware of has urged his or her followers to beat up opposing demonstrators.
Instead, some progressive celebrities have said some bad words, and some people have treated administration officials with the sort of public opprobrium due members of any other white nationalist organization. Liberals are using their cultural power against the right because it’s the only power they have left, and people have a desperate need to say, and to hear others say, that what is happening in this country is intolerable.

Faced with the unceasing cruelty and degradation of the Trump presidency, liberals have not taken to marching around in public with assault weapons and threatening civil war. I know of no left-wing publication that has followed the example of the right-wing Federalist and run quasi-pornographic fantasies about murdering political enemies. (“Close your eyes and imagine holding someone’s scalp in your hands,” began a recent Federalist article.) Unlike Trump, no Democratic politician I’m aware of has urged his or her followers to beat up opposing demonstrators.
I would love for the above to happen. I'm not sure that liberals own assault weapons though?0
