It’s not liberals doing it.
The disrupters are agitators backed by Trump’s Russian mob buddies who are trying to make it look like liberals are being disruptive.
Trump is echoing Putin’s latest disinformation campaign. Conservatives had better get a clue, before they find themselves eating borscht.
I have all the emails and information and proof that this is all organic, everyone pays out of pocket… hopefully that will change and we can fundraise for our purposes, but anyone who accuses Indivisible of astroturf is a liar, a fraud and a charlatan.
All the labels Trump and his toads wear proudly.
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.
Definition of petition
1: an earnest request : entreaty
2: a formal written request made to an official person or organized body (as a court)
b : a document embodying such a formal written request
3: something asked or requested
***Trump's a goddamned anti-democratic vulgarian. Fuck him.***No, he doesn’t “Work for Us” he works only for his campaign donors.
You can all go “pound sand” as far as he is concerned.
He is the BEST kind of Whore; “Once bought, he STAYS Bought!”
So Trump and conservatives are back to mocking liberals for being organized? Good stuff.
Way back when I was in grade school, I earned mostly As on my report card. A couple bullies didn’t appreciate that and mocked me and a few other kids for studying, doing our homework and making good grades. That’s what this reminds me of.
Ron - Watch this Rachel Maddow segment . It gives me Hope against the Dope
actually, some of us get quite animated, and every time the same old bullshit pours from their mouths, spontaneous jeers erupt…
Disruptive? thus far, it is nothing compared to what Trump has done to disrupt our democracy.
Like when senators refer to each other as "the gentleman from "
The 'baggers had the rallying cry “NO OBAMACARE” but this is not a single issue wave. The people are pissed over myriad topics from the expectation that they will have safe water to drink and clean air to breath to waiting for the 25+ million jobs to be created but PeePee and his congressional minions are focused on anything but. Numerous articles this week about both Grassley and Ernst being greeted by angry farmers in Iowa - seems they feel like they may still need the ability to export their $13+ billion in agro products in order to stay afloat, not to mention the farm labor that’s now being rounded up, imprisoned and deported.
Ignore this wave at your own peril, Lord Dampnut. Sad!
I don’t even understand how it’s an insult or delegitimizing. Does organizing somehow mean people aren’t really legitimately upset?
I understand the larger theme Trump thinks he’s getting at, though. It’s both strongly hinting that these protesters are getting paid to participate by an otherwise small number of ideological agitators, and that liberals blindly subscribe to their ideology – to a team – and then act out against anything that runs against that ideology.
In both cases, I strongly suspect the Rule of Conservative Projection applies. They accuse their enemies of what they do and of what they are.
EXCELLENT segment… Rachel’s really on top of this. Katy Tur’s kickin’ butt, too… wish I could “like” this more than once…
Great segment last night, hopeful indeed.
Trumps policies are applauded by conservatives activists who like lies and self centered policies. The liberal activists who show up for town hall are practicing democracy–something Trump has never heard of.
Standard conservative MO: don’t debunk the points, simply delegitimize anything/anyone you oppose.
“Obama was not born in the US”, “climate change is a hoax”, “Paid protesters”, “protesters from out of district” and now “liberal activists”.
But during the ACA townhalls, those conservatives protesters were ALL “grass root”, huh?
Thanks to you, Donny-boy, there are thousands more liberal activists every day.
especially like when they’re referring to DiFi or Kamala Harris or Auntie Lindsey…
Who knows? Maybe we’ll look back on this period in a couple of decades (well, the part of “we” that is younger than me, anyway) and see it as a period that rejuvenated the country in response to this travesty.
“The number of liberal activists just got 10 feet higher”.
