Everywhere 2 or 3 of these MAGAts gather, they need to be resisted.
Your local Hate Radio station.
Your local Faux News affiliate.
Businesses that contribute or give aid and comfort to them.
Businesses, restaurants, bars, dentist offices and car repair shops that have Faux News on their TVs.
Heating and air conditioning companies whose workers show up with MAGAts hats or bumper stickers.
Universities that broadcast their sports on stations that also foist Limbaugh, Hannity, or the rest of the Retrumplican propagandist on your community.
Stand up!!! Verbalize!!! Politely tell them to change the channel from Faux News or take your business elsewhere.
Confront! Don't be a wallflower!!
We have been silent and put up with their shit for too fucking long!!!
Silence is complicity.
The least we can do is make them uncomfortable....the least we can do is let them know that there are a lot more folks that DON'T get their marching orders from Faux News and Hate Radio.
You'll be surprised how speaking up can make some in their group think clan start to question whether they are in the wrong group.
When people see me...a white, past middle age, 30 year veteran speak up, it let's them know that not all white, middle age veterans share their political beliefs. You'll actually see some lights come on.
Stand up, or roll over. That's the choice we've got.
