not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

This implies that 1) protesters are being violent (they aren’t) and 2) Trumps government WON’T TAKE ACTION AGAINST NON-VIOLENT PROTESTS (he has and he will). The focus, Mr Schiff, should be on the armed-to-the-teeth government agents who are oppressing the people.

Theyre just sitting there with their little hard-ons. Notice who has the guns and the full armor on. And who did they say the threat is?
