Democratic Party has been hijacked

Posted April 10, 2017 1:00 am

I wonder how long it is going to take the decent Democrats to realize that their party has been "hijacked" and say enough is enough with the anti-Trump protests. The demonstration that took place on April 1 in front of the Trump Tower in New York shows how indecent some protests have become, displaying disgusting behavior.

Also the gay rights advocates in front of Ivanka Trump's Washington residence hosted by Queer Resistance WERK for Peace used very strong (unprintable) language against the police. Our youth is being exposed to this rage.

Conservatives, independents, Republicans weren't happy with President Obama, some saying he wasn't a U.S. citizen, he was a Muslim, etc., but we didn't take to the streets again and again.

The Tea Party was formed protesting lawfully - not causing destruction in the streets - because of the love of our country. We waited - got in position to vote for like-minded candidates in both the House and Senate, and then the presidency.
