Here's what I'd say to Ann Coulter:

Call your nearby Democratic Congresspeople and Senators, tell them you need a town hall in your district (because most likely your rep. isn't doing town halls).
So I just called an in-state Democratic Rep. and pitched this idea. They were very receptive, they're going to look into it and get back to me. I'm going to follow up perhaps later this week.

We kinda all agree she's a Nazi, so, good thing?

Edit: She likes guns, and I like guns, so, bad thing?

2nd edit: Good question rara, I don't know either.

A thought occurred to me after listening to left wing and right wing rallies , the future of the world comes down to who has the best rallies.

my mom was on the news protesting trump and the main thing for me is no one understands I have a negative voice not the absence of one.At least those people who have had their tongues cut off or are locked in a war torn basement don't have a negative voice.Everytime i say something brilliant it's not that no one hears me it's worse than that- its a resounding anti hearing. And that is why it's hard for me to talk about politics because something worse than having my voice silenced is happening. I have to wonder if this is where politics is headed.

Trump did that to politics in 2016. Now he's working on doing it to the rest of life in 2017.

Just really briefly I would like to point out my theory on elections.
2018 will be a flop for standard reasons- ie gopbots always show up for midterms, discrimination, bad senate seats etc

2020 will be HUGE


2017-2018 i see as a time of revisitng your assumptions, coming up with new ideas, being as empathetic to conservatives as possible, being as healthy as possible, read some books you wouldn't normally choose to read

2019-2020 we campaign hard and take back the government

nothing can really be done about trump our president is a cartoon character I just wouldn't worry about it

Also I found an article pretty inspiring this morning

i did email my congressman kevin yoder (R) that am against repealing obamacare. My mom made some calls.

While you're waiting on all that to happen, focus on local elections. Nothing is too small to matter. School board, PTA, student government, city council. We have to get active at every single level to protect our brothers and sisters from this dangerous administration.

The Derplorables are planning another one of their rallies in downtown Portland, OR next Saturday. The mayor is calling for it to be cancelled in light of an unhinged Nazi murdering two people who were trying to protect a girl in a hijab on Friday. If this rally happens it will likely make Berkeley scuffles seem like friendly pillow fights.
05-29-2017 , 08:50 PM
Didn't hear about the unhinged Nazi murderer until recently. I guess the president was waiting for the KKK to condemn it first.
05-29-2017 , 09:00 PM
I don't know if it came out earlier in this or another thread, but the murderer in Portland was an active participant in these "free speech" rallies.

Temporary memorial avatar.

The Portland murderer also advocated for a Bernie Sanders/Jill Stein ticket. I guess that's just an inconvenient fact that the MSM won't mention.

Never thought I'd see the day when freedom of speech was cast as a right wing plot but this is what happens when the schools go from teaching kids how to think to indoctrinating them into what to think.
05-30-2017 , 11:21 PM
care to provide a citation of schools being indoctrination camps?

I'm assuming you've never attended one and that's why you have such a misinformed view of them.
