I invoke the Tea Party for obvious reasons that you keep running away from.
Who told you the Left stands for doing nothing in the face of an enemy? Who told you that?
Protest, violent if necessary, has been a mainstay of the Left since the 60's. Peaceful protest is always preferred .. but violence will be met with violence.
I believe you didn't vote for Trump .. but sometimes you're confusing my friend. How do you not know about violent Tea Party protests? What in the world makes you believe that the actions of your party shouldn't be a consideration in judging what democrats do?
Fair play, goose-gander, what goes around comes around .. swallow your own medicine.
