So What Would It Take for Many of You To Be Rude to Ivanka??? [View all]

So many of you got the vapors that a gay man was rude to Ivanka in front of her children. You compared Ivanka falsely to Sasha and Malia, which is a false equivalence as she has been, and is, an active part of his campaign and Administration. (A logical response would have been to compare Barron and Sasha, but you polite people didn't do that. And i would agree that to accost Barron, a child, would be wrong.) Ivanka worked on his campaign, works on his transition team, sits in on meetings and wants an active role, a West Wing office. She is not an innocent bystander here.

So i'm curious as to what it would take for you to say something to Ivanka and her asshole husband who worked with Bannon on having Bill Clinton's accusers at the 2nd debate? Even if her children were there? Let's play, shall we?

If Muslims were having to register, would you speak out to Ivanka, even if her children got upset?
How many of you polite folks would put your names on that registry?

How about if they marched Muslim children into camps like we have done in our not so distant history? Would you still worry about optics and upsetting her children? I bet you would still not speak out, because we Dems dont so such mean things. (And I wonder how George Takei, who was put in a camp as a child, felt about that man speaking out to Ivanka yesterday?)

How about sending Dreamers back to countries they havent seen since infant hood?? Puliing them out of their homes, onto buses, into detention centers to be processed to be sent back to the country they were taken from as children? Would you say something yet to Ivanka, who is demanding an office in the West Wing. Or would you be loathe to upset her and the children? Just be polite! The other side might say mean things about us.

These are all things Trump has promised to do. I get that it's very scary to take him at his word, terrifying to think that these are not normal times. He is not a normal Republican. That he will try to do what he says. But there is a very good possibility that Trump will do as he said he will do. Do you think Obama is believing him? If not, why is he dismantling that program that tracked Muslims here illegally after 9/11. Take Trump at his word. And Ivanka is part of his team.

Oh, i forgot! This can't happen here! We aren't like that! Yet we are. And the sooner we realize that 25% of Americans would happily march Muslims and Latinos off, and many of you would remain silent from how upset you get at someone exercised his right to speak out about bigotry, the more we can see who would fight this and who would not. The sooner we start to speak up, even if feelings get bruised, or children get startled, the sooner they will know that we are not too nice to stand up for our neighbors, against injustice. They need to know that as soon as possible.

The difference between us and Republicans is they take a no-holds barred approach and they're doing it in their fight to hurt people. Even when we are being hurt or defending the weak, Democrats want to be kind and mannerly and polite. Even when it may be life or death. You must always be polite and not offend.

I'm not even going to respond to you saying how mean i am. Because i think many Americans are being willfully blind and ignorant about what this man, led by Bannon, has in store for us.
