Shame. Shame. Shame. IT WORKS!

Shame. Shame. Shame. IT WORKS!
Is shaming people like Sarah Huckabee Sanders by refusing them service at restaurants effective?
Harvard professor Steven Levitsky, co-author of the book How Democracies Die, was asked that question on Dean Obeidallah’s progressive SiriusXMProgress show last night.
His answer was an unequivocal yes: Shaming works.

To me, their reaction to SHS getting asked to leave a restaurant was absurdly over the top. They're reacting like she was murdered. I think it revealed a chink in their armor.
