(22,651 posts)scrutinize the internet to help keep the Republican Bigot-brand name pure.
Some Republicans like Bush & buddies ruined lives and careers to quash criticism of his Admin.
Todays Republicans just ramp-up the more local laws to quash descent. Toss glitter, its an assault!, block a bank doorway, arrested- trespassing!, go off the sidewalk, obstructing traffic!-you're arrested & fined!
Trump even hired Palin, the "Queen of Gun Targets on faces" to help keep the Republican Brand on Focus.

(11,012 posts)even if some of those who participated in this action don't, their enthusiasm and initiative may inspire others to vote. And they will be more likely to vote in the next elections two years later.
A value like voting, established early, is hard to break... which is why I always took my kids with me when I voted.

We also went to all Republican events to asked questions of the candidates. A candidate for governor really lost it at a presser when I hit him with the question he least wanted to answer.
They need to control media events or their message does not shine. That means they need to control the people. Good luck with that!

(14,061 posts)The fact that they are this politically aware and see what's happening is huge.
Good on 'em.

(14,061 posts)And good for them to have the courage to stand up at their age and challenge this fascism disguised as democracy. Gives me some hope.
They were just "escorted" out...but how long will it be before people like that are not only "escorted" out, but get the shit beaten out of them in the process?
