It Could Get Nasty In The Streets. The GOP Is Sabre Rattling. They Are Furious About Town Halls.

The GOP privately is furious about town halls. I can tell you from being active in Colorado they send their spies in to Democratic town halls to record and sneak around. And they even plant nasty questions and confront democrats. Yet their town halls in our area are held in churches under tight security. And it they catch you coming in you could get your ass beat up or arrested. There are people around the GOP who will kill you given the chance.

Going to a GOP event is dangerous any more. And my feeling is they will look you up at home. Their tactics is why I am so militant.

to disrupt Democrats town halls. You don't need a voter card for a public venue.

Don't let these thugs and scumbags intimidate you. The Republicans in Congress represent us too and they need to hear our voices.

I think it's past time to face this reality. When The Donald made his speeches about draining the swamp, he was referring to Democrats and Progressives. Hence the reason why he has populated his cabinet with the swampiest of swamp monsters since he was elected. Republicans only consider people who think like them to be true Americans. Everyone else they would shoot just as soon as look at.
