1. Curious as to why you previously were against it (nt)

2. Not sure really

It just seemed wrong to go up to a politician if they're at a restaurant or something.

Now though, Ive changed my mind, it has to be the next step I think. Again non violent of course.

3. The old adage of the role of the press is: "Comfort the afflicted...

and afflict the comfortable."

Now that we are all publishers in a way on social media, perhaps we should assume this role as pols like Cruz just hide behind the NRA and the money they contribute to his warchest, trump, gun humpers, McTurtle and party leadership to vote against what the majority of the people want

6. When we're talking "reasonable" political disagreements

Yeah, confrontation and public displays would be out of bounds for me, too. But when the differences are between pro- and anti-armed maniacs, there really isn't a genteel space for disagreement and discussion. It's a choice between humanity and depravity, and confronting depravity is essential.

4. I would boo loudly.

Until I was dragged out.


Fuck being polite and quiet.

5. Cruz is an embarrassment to Texas and the nation. He is the kind of person that

you just want to hose down with a water hose. What kind of people would elect someone like that? Answer....Right-wing Christian Nationalists.
