Has he missed the family assaults and beatings of MAGA marchers once they headed back to their hotels or out for dinner after the demonstrations?

From Grey Whiskers fine linked article.

4. Law enforcement and defense against violence is the responsibility of each and every person. Even though we have become accustomed to having these services provided by professionals, they remain our right and our personal responsibility.

This little meme from thedonald.win made me chuckle over the irony.

Grey Whiskers' linked article is a MUST READ for every FReeQ, every FReeper in general, and every American.

Open Letter from an American Coward

Don't let the title fool you.

Just some snips, but the whole thing rings out like a Patrick Henry speech designed to get Americans off their hind parts. If you aren't inspired by this article, you can't be inspired.

(excerpts)

This is what I see happening.

The American public has come to accept all the components of totalitarian states.

- We have come to accept a militarized police.
- We have come to accept ideological indoctrination in schools.
- We have come to accept mass surveillance.
- We have come to accept speech codes.
- We have come to accept the rewriting of history to serve the interests of the ruling party.
- We have come to accept the tarring of political dissidents as “terrorists”, “extremists”, and “White Supremacists.”
- We have come to accept the State telling us when and where we can meet.
- We have come to accept the State shutting down our places of worship.
- We have come to accept the idea that parents should have no special authority over their children.
- We have come to accept the manipulation of thought through the manipulation of language.
- We have come to accept the radical reordering of society by government in the name of crisis.

*snip*

If you have the courage to act where I do not, here is what I WILL do:

- If you speak out against them, I will listen.
- If you act against them, I will not stand in your way.
- If they portray you as uncool, cringey, old-fashioned, unintelligent, or low-class, I will not laugh at you or think less of you.
- If they call you a racist, sexist, xenophobe, homophobe, Nazi, granny killer, etc., I will not believe them, nor will I care.
- If they call you a terrorist or an extremist, I will not assume that you are in the wrong.
- When they ask me questions, I will lie, forget, or evade as I am able.
- When they tell me their version of history, I will smile and nod and know they are liars.
- If they dispossess you, I will share what I can.
- If they martyr you, my children will learn your name as that of a hero.
- If you have the courage to be shameless in opposing them, you will be honored in my house.

A+ for the day to Grey Whiskers for posting this gem.

You’re an empty sack on this one. The DC mayor has her cops stand down, even while violence against MAGA folks is right in front of them. So Trump owes it to hia supporters, if thwy are goinv into DC to support him, to see that security is right for them. Lots of women, older folks, children, handicapped, etc., who don’t know how to defend themselves against trained antifa thugs need their President to have gheir backs while they have his.
