SHS: think strategically, but still be ready to go low

I get it that many are so pissed off that they LOVE that SHS was kicked out of a restaurant. In many ways I share this feeling.

But careful thinkers are pointing out how this kind of action -- AND OUR REACTION TO IT -- influences conservatives who are not big ass hat supporters to defend him.

I know going high doesn't always work and got us in a big mess, but let's save the going low for critical, strategic situations. Gloating about SHS doesn't win us anything at all.

Now, go ahead and blast me.

He says the restaurant is dirty. Keep pointing out that Mar a Lago is the dirty place. His criticisms are all projections, so it's easy to figure out where to look.

let's let these effin deplorables know we don't want them and their disgusting policies normalized and accepted in society.

But no gloating, ok?

Standing up for your rights, or the rights of others is not going low.

Curbing, or stopping the rights of others is going low.

Sarah wants the bible to replace the Constitution.

I find Sarah's beliefs and her support of Trump's policies morally reprehensible.

the most direct and quickest way possible. Those warnings you see when entering such establishments telling you " We reserve the right to refuse service" are legal. If any complaint of such things that is legit should be referred to the corresponding jurisdictional authority for remedy. Now go have your cake

I would imagine refusing service to fascists would be about as high as you could go short of killing them.
