1. Yeah, but when DEMS get fed up, we vote the idiots out of office who are blocking progress.

When ReThugs get fed up, they pull out guns and start shooting people or make up fake videos and spread lies and rally around rich people who tell them everyone else is out to get you.

DEMS protest peacefully. Yeah, we get pissed, but we bring out the facts and expect people to see the truth and make the correct choice. It hasn't been happening.

Even when Republicans swim against their own talking points and rally for common sense gun laws, they get pounced on and thrown out.

THIS IS FALSE EQUIVALENCE.

YES we are upset, but the things DEMS do when they are upset, while still probably unpleasant are not life threatening.
