I find your lack of patriotism disturbing

Jojo -

Now that we've flipped the balance of power back in the GOP's direction, we're seeing more and more protests directed at the incoming Trump administration. Republicans, predictably, are not pleased at all that their president is being protested. We're already seeing widespread condemnation of the protesters, who are characterized as whiners and complainers.

How dare they contest the results of the election! They lost, so they should just shut up and go away, right?

Let me remind you of this:




They should all get jobs, right?

These people were angry that their tax dollars were being spent in ways they didn't like. I guess that's a valid concern, but the vitriol would make you think that their lives and livelihoods were being threatened.

So now, we have protesters on the Left, who disapprove of an incoming president who has promised to:

  • Create a registry of Muslims
  • Ban Muslims from entering the country
  • Deport millions of people, many of whom were brought here as children
  • Ignore climate change
  • Repeal the ACA and therefore deprive millions of health insurance
  • Build a pointless, expensive wall (see, we can be upset over tax dollars as well)

Despite these being public knowledge, Republicans just want everyone to shut up and go along with it.

Fuck that.
