He said speaking up during the address was the best way “get across to a person who uses his incivility, who uses his incivility against our civility.”

        Neither that nor am I showing deference to the wealthy traitors running roughshod over our government turning it into an authoritarian kleptocracy.

        There is a middle ground here in the real world.

            Yes. Suggesting quiet civility in the face of complete disregard for your fellow countrymen is deference. A riot was not suggested. Standing up was.

              slicing the ham pretty thinly there but we’ve all got standards for our political theatre i guess

              it’s the principle isn’t it
