...is all gone- as if there was any to begin with.
What if the Westboro Church were basically the entire right and they attacked and harassed democrats like this all over the country?

Why would you say I'm not civil?

The moment Ted Cruz stops being a massive ★■◆● is the moment he deserves civility. People can't do terrible ★■◆● and hide behind the shield of decorum anymore. ★■◆● 'em.

So I guess it's ok if I show up outside your classroom door and yell for you to be fired because a hispanic teacher was denied a job because of your white privilege...and also shout you out of restaurants for being a white man taking up my chair which I deserve more because I'm hispanic/Native American.

You could try, but it wouldn't make a goddamn bit of sense because neither of those things are true. Meanwhile Cruz acts like a piece of ★■◆● on a weekly basis and is being called out for it. See, that's the beauty of it all TB. The Constitution gives you the right to act like a total ★■◆●. But it does not give you the right to avoid the consequences of acting as such.

To every conservative, take a hard look at your own political behavior before you criticize the behavior of your opponent.
The very same conservatives who inspired and encouraged that rhetoric are now admonishing liberals and the left for incivility.

Oh, and I forgot. We have our asswipe in Chief and King of incivility, Donald J. Trump. Worried about lefty incivility? Better start looking at your own party and it's leaders before you start throwing accusations.
You can do all kinds of bullsh!t that devastates lives, but you have to use your indoor voice.

Trump is going to say garbage- and EVERYONE knows it's garbage. A bunch of GOP voters aren't chasing down democrats at their homes and at restaurants harassing them.
If that had actually happened, the internet would be FILLED with video of GOP voters attacking people.

That's because Democrats aren't the ones doing heinous ★■◆● worthy of harassment. Want to stop being harassed? Stop being an irredeemable ★■◆●.

BullSh!t. Democrats do heinous ★■◆● all the time. Keith Ellison, U.S. Representative from the Minnesota Congressional Fifth District beat his ex-girlfriend and this has most likely been repeated with another ex of his:
MINNEAPOLIS - The former girlfriend of Keith Ellison has released a statement that details her accusations of domestic abuse against the U.S. Representative from the Minnesota Congressional Fifth District.
The accusations were originally leveled by Karen Monahan's son Austin in a Facebook post. Monahan, an organizer for the Sierra Club, backed up the post on social media and a statement sent to the media.
Ellison has denied the accusations and released a statement: "Karen and I were in a long-term relationship which ended in 2016, and I still care deeply for her well-being. This video does not exist because I never behaved in this way, and any characterization otherwise is false," the statement issued through Ellison's spokesman reads.
Political impact
Ellison has been the perceived front runner in the DFL primary for Attorney General, but he faces serious competition in Tuesday's election from Rep. Debra Hilstrom, Minneapolis attorney Matt Pelikan, former Commerce Commissioner Mike Rothman and former Ramsey County Attorney Tom Foley.
Anyways, Nightshade gets my vote to be civility hall monitor.

I don't know if he's guilty or not, but Ellison is asking the Ethics Committee to investigate the allegations against him.
...and he knows those "Ethics Committee" investigations go nowhere. He should be civilly if not criminally prosecuted for his actions.

Update: More "civility" from the left...
The owner of the D.C. restaurant where protestors forced out Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and his wife earlier this week says that his staff and their families have received death threats.
"I am blessed to work with the staff who have handled the harassment and life-threatening messages we and our families have received in the wake of the event," Fabio Trabocchi wrote in a statement released Wednesday.
"They have shown remarkable grit and calm," he said. "It is scary to hear anger directed at you and those you love-- I am lucky to work with brave people who respect our work."
The Hill could not reach a representative for the restaurant to clarify the specifics of the threats at the time of publication.
Trabocchi reiterated sentiments he expressed in a statement released Tuesday, where he said that the restaurant "welcomes all patrons...irrespective of creed, ideology or opinion."
On Monday, a crowd of angry protesters opposing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh confronted Cruz and his wife, driving them out of the restaurant.
Later, the restaurant led Cruz and his wife back inside to complete their meal in peace.
Since then, the restaurant's Yelp page has received a variety of comments, some praising its efforts to allow the Cruzes to eat, others lambasting them. The responses caused the website to post a message saying it was working to remove both the positive and negative responses.
In his statement Wednesday, Trabocchi said he is "in hospitality, not public safety" but has been working to set up additional safety measures so no patrons will be harassed again.
"In the past 24 hours, security and privacy consultants and investigators have implemented additional safety and security measures...across our restaurants to ensure the ongoing and future privacy, safety and security of our staff and guests," Trabocchi wrote.

This may be unrelated but the Westboro "church" is just controlled opposition. The devil wants people to get mad at Christians. I wouldn't be surprised if it really consists of special operatives pretending to be independent civilian "Christians" like how your news media is full of military personnel pretending to be journalists.
