harshness, norm-breaking and vulgarity of the Trump era.
In order to make political progress, norms must sometimes be broken. A sad fact of politics that progressives would understand, if any of them had grown up in a culture in which their preferences weren't already mainstream.

Fucking Teabaggers.
Wait, who said that?
Yeah, President Obama.
Conservatives are pouncing on President Obama for using what they say is a pejorative expression for the Tea Party movement.
In a new book by Jonathan Alter, The Promise: President Obama, Year One, Mr. Obama is quoted as saying that House Republicans' unanimous vote against the stimulus package "helped to create the tea-baggers and empowered that whole wing of the Republican Party to where it now controls the agenda for the Republicans."
Yeah, conservatives "pounced." What could be worse, "seizing?"

Really it’s not that big of a deal, but it’s sad that it’s no big deal.
Edit to add the F Joe a Biden stuff is sad as well.

Ted Cruz said one of the Brandon chant-alongs was the funniest thing he'd ever seen. And bear in mind that guy looks at himself naked in the mirror at least once a week.

Arizona bride, mom plead with progressive anti-Sinema protesters to stop 'ruining' wedding
Link to videoAn Arizona bride and her mother pleaded with protesters outside of a wedding that Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., officiated last weekend to stop disrupting the event, according to video of the demonstrators.
Sinema was officiating the wedding for her personal friend, according to Tucson.com, when protesters arrived outside the venue, chanting and carrying signs that read phrases including, "Sinema Betrays Democrats" and, "We voted for you — shouldn't you vote for us?" as seen in a video of the event posted to YouTube on Oct. 24
t one point, a woman who appears to be the bride confronts the demonstrators.
"Thanks for ruining my wedding. I really appreciate it," she can be heard saying sarcastically in the video. "It's just my wedding. I really wish I could enjoy my wedding without you ruining it."
A protester responds, "I know you do."
"It's my daughter's wedding. Just for an hour — just let her get married, please. This person is not my daughter," she can be heard telling demonstrators, referring to Sinema. The woman appears to plead with protesters to leave for an hour during the ceremony; some demonstrators agree to protest in silence, though one man continues to yell toward the venue.

That's private property and I guarantee they had no permit for public property. The cops should have cleared them out and arrested anybody who resisted.
Bail should have been set at $100,000.

Secondly, if that had happened at my nephew's wedding, with all the rednecks, cowboys and drunk coonasses, the protesters would be lucky not to have fertilized the cane field.

I'm sure that immediately afterward, Sinema said "OMG! I've been wrong this whole time! Thank you for helping me realize the error of my ways!" Then rushed to DC to vote for the full package...

When you become a liberal icon and discover that you your sex life is now limited to women that like liberal icons, you find that you don’t have sex as much as you used to. And when you see who you would be having sex with, you don’t really mind…
