Well I just saw my first bullshit meme after the Trump fiasco in Chicago...

[silvershadow]

How to you combat this shit? I mean, really...How? Grrr. I refuse to repost it, but here's what it says:

Chicago is showing America just what Socialist Democrats are and how they operate.

I am livid at the nerve of these Karl Rove types. I just KNOW in my heart that the Trump thing was nothing more than a pre-planned cancellation, just to stir shit up. And now, they are going to meme their way through the next 6 months with their outright fabrications. It just sickens me.

They are some sick fucks.

1. yes

they are already trying to frame it as leftist violence....the new OWS.

[silvershadow]

2. We can't let them get away with it. We have to push back at every turn. nt

[retrowire]

3. i called it!

I told my wife it's only a matter of time before they start using this to say "look! Bernie supporters are just as angry and violent as Trump supporters!"

Every movement throughout history has had it's members mocked in this way. suffragettes, civil rights activists, you name it. all of them.

stay the course either way.

4. It's just too bad the news media did not record any of the many huge Bernie rallies so we

would have an accurate historical record of how peaceful and energetic and positive they were.

[retrowire]

6. we have our own footage.

they can continue controlling the message on TV but im getting the feeling that many of us have turned that damn thing off.

10. If only more regular folk were politically tuned in. Thank God for the younger ones. nt

5. I swear to God I have seen this

"Vote for Trump. He'll protect the first amendment against the tyranny of political correctness". Presumably by ordering anyone deemed as "politically correct" to be beaten up...or worse.

7. What sewer did that bubble out of?

[silvershadow]

8. Oh it's going around Facebook. They must have a staff that has these at the ready or something. nt

[MisterP]

9. probably the most effective weapon against hardline Pubs is pointing out that whatever

they say, 2 weeks later the candidate they really hate, Hillary Clinton, will seize their accusations and run with it

18. It will look like this

"You know, I arrived under glass-bottle and rock fire. There wasn't one of those welcoming parties, we had to run to the place where we could be safe. And as I scaled the Sears Tower I told Donald Drumpf's and Bernie Sanders' supporters to cut it out"

[Fairgo]

11. The cracks deepen

We are splitting along the fault lines of values. 3rd way will calve off to fill the place where republicans used to be. The left is rising in a diverse and unorganised congress of voices united by social justice and community...and driven by a movement that is now over 100 years old. It is going to be a wild, wild ride.

12. I promise you, Bernie has coat tails that the others can only dream of.

I used to doubt they would be long enough, but this is shaping up to be an interesting campaign. I only wish there were more like-minded people running!

[Fairgo]

13. Things can change quickly

I think people are waking up after a very long coma. Maybe some new leaders will arise? I'm with you, big hope for the future.

[Depaysement]

14. Pre-planned cancellation

The so-called "clash" was less than I've seen at some hockey games.

[Lunabell]

15. Clearly we are making an impact.

I looked at several videos of the inside events and most of the protesters were using non-violent civil disobedience techniques. They were flashing peace signs and trying to keep cool. The Trumpsters were grabbing signs, hurling insults and shoving people.

[gemhunter]

16. BS

Lets be real, we went there to disrupt that event and we did!
we planed it, The only thing we didn't plan is who we look after.
lets show some respect!!
We have the right to VOTE! lets do that!!!!!!
I get so mad when when our side does stupid shut like this!!!!!!!!!!!

[SheenaR]

19. Get this person out please

Awesome first post

[nc4bo]

20. I have no idea what you just said. nt

[in_cog_ni_to]

17. Oh, really...were the protesters at the 1968 Democratic Convention "Democratic Socialists" too?

What excuse did they use for them at the time? Radical hippies. Unfortunately, for the corrupt corporate owned MSM, the people already know what Democratic Socialism is...their scare tactics mean jack shit.

The African Americans, Hispanics, Muslims, Disabled and Women had every damn right to protest Trumps HATE SPEECH RALLY. They had every right to be angry about what he has said about them and TRUMP SUPPORTERS are just as much to blame because they attend his HATE SPEECH RALLIES.

He has the Freedom to spew his hate and protesters have the freedom to answer it by protesting his HATE WHEREVER HE SPEWS IT.

This is exactly how HITLER rose to power and if this shit isn't nipped in the bud RIGHT NOW, we could end up with a FASCIST in the White House!

If you think that's hyperbole, think again and read a history book about the rise of Hitler.


"First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."
