The vast vast number of these Rethuglican elected officials are deserving of derision and vilification in extremis, BUT...
We keep seeing video of them being accosted in airports, train stations, and stores. These people are in danger as are our own Democratic officials. The last thing this country needs is Government by Assassination. I hope that there is more care taken in the future -I dont much like this. Yeah, I know: Lying Lindsay is a real POS but you know...you KNOW that its only a matter of time before one of these lunatics goes after, say Senator Leahy or Senator Schumer. The climate here is like that of a third world nation.
Or, as Donald J Trump would call it: a shithole country.
On edit: I apologize for my autocorrect idiocies

2) It escalates and encourages the other side to do the same.
3) It is a violation of law to disturb the peace.
4) There are many other ways to make the same points.
5) Bad bad optics to be shitty to people.
6) Restaurant loses business during and maybe after the demonstration. Serving staff loses tips they depend on to survive.
