So we have had to endure constant public bullying and shaming from the number

[Lint Head]

one leader of our country with his mass media tweet-a-phone. Yet having average American citizens publicly shame his criminal accessories is somehow an outrage? Gimme a damn break. I love MLK and have followed his precept of non violent protest my entire life. Though non-violent protest is not always silent. Not allowing authoritarian acolytes to eat in peace is a non violent form of protest. I feel these supporters of facism should be shamed.

The other side has "already" escalated the situation. Now it's time for the worm to turn. In the privacy of the ballot box and in public.

1. They can dish it out, but can't take it.

Snowflakes.

13. This is the first lesson my parents taught me

about bullies.

Flip it back in their faces and they will run.

2. Who the hell cares what they are outraged about?

Tell them they are snowflakes and then ignore them. Keep on refusing to serve them. They suck and it's about time they realize that cold, hard truth.

3. Agreed. It will always be "something". Screw'em!

11. Visual artists rule!

4. K&R

Could not have said it better myself. Maybe the hand-wringers should look up "pro-active" vs. "re-active" in the dictionary. They need to be educated.

5. They hold nearly all of the marbles and STILL they cry "victimhood!"

Get that delusional fucker OUT OF the people's White House NOW!

6. Along those lines, just saw an absolutely dreadful piece of "liberal" MSM

propaganda on CBS Evening News about how concerned they were about
the loss of public civility. Complete with the usual panel of citizens. This is
the same media that would have insisted on having representatives of victims
of the Holocaust set down with the Nazi and "good" Germans to discuss public
civility. In fact, they would have the victims of any Authoritarian regime sit
down with their oppressors. One guy spoke out about the facts and morals, but
of course he had to be "balanced" by the both-side-ism and tsk-tsk crowd
and the nonsensical we-are-all-humans centrist.

... to bullies and sociopaths in ways that enable their bullying and sociopath behavior if you have the power.

9. I see you are shouting. I had an experience as an elementary school child. Every day a school patrol

boy, 6th grader, would bully me at the school crossing of my 4th grade year. We lived in walking distance of the elementary school. This was in the 50's in the deep segregated South. I took the beatings and insults. I did just what you say. I went high. Thought I could win him over with peace and kindness. I was smaller and weaker. But one day something inside me said it had to stop. That this person had to be doing it to others. So that morning on my walk to school he did it again. I laid my books on the payment and and gave him a black eye. The next day he apologized and never bothered me again. Good thing I was shorter and went low.

Also in the 6th grade I became a proud school boy patrol person.

10. That is all that works with a bully.

But the living crap out of them...

12. To be silent is to imply agreement. We will not be obedient, quiet North Koreans...

we are Americans. This is a democracy.

We are up against fascism. Everyone must speak out in some way, to someone. If we are silent when we hear a fascist supporting statement, we don't have to be vulgar or physical, but we must speak out against it. That's how I feel about it.

The only thing needed for evil to exist is for good people to do nothing.

14. Ain't gonna make nice...........

of course, not new for me, I haven't since 1968!
