Call for civility?

You can't obstruct the previous POTUS for eight years. Completely disrespect him, accuse him of everything, make up lies against him. Deny him a SCOTUS pick. Elect a narcissistic bully who spent the entire campaign being uncivil. And then call for civility.

16. I will not stop mocking Herr Trump while there is breath in my lungs

And I will proudly mock him by whatever mechanism presents itself to me. Whether it's his swell effort to split his tennis shorts or his dottering attempt to downplay his failure to find his personal limo parked in plain sight directly in front of him and waiting with open door--exactly where he was certainly told it would be.

The man is a plague and deserves to be mocked at every turn.

and the media grants the call for "civility" merit and it begins to take root and grow and get louder.

who would strip me of my rights as a woman. I can't see the value in being civil to those who would do away with human rights and who delight in discrimination. There's nothing civil about killing people by gutting needed safety nets.

All oppressors demand the oppressed be polite about their oppression. Or if they can't say something nice about being oppressed, they can keep quiet. They want people subservient.


Fuck.that.shit.
