Sounds a little treasonous.

Sounds like they need to remember what violence feels like.

I don't think the democrats in Texas realize house outnumbered they are. Their only strongholds are in the cities likely propped up by a large number of illegal voters. This is a red state, and this shit doesn't fly.

I don't think dems in general know how out numbered they are.

And Republicans have more guns than the number of Democrats.

Maybe currently. But demographics and time are on their side. We can't remain in Helms Deep forever.

That is their voting block. They are literally fighting for their careers here, they will do whatever it takes!

The left is eager to equate words with violence so they can respond with actual physical violence. This isn't a new phenomenon, either. "Feels over reals" has been incubated for centuries.
Check out Stephen Hicks' "Explaining Postmodernism" for an historical account. A free .pdf version is available under the "First Edition Text" heading at the site linked above. It's definitely worth reading if you want to understand more in-depth how we got to where we are now.

This. These people need real world consequence. Start up the rotors.

Wow so illegal were protesting? This is fucking hilarious, next time call ICE

One of the reps did. Then when he told the dems that he did so, one of the reps assaulted him, then another one threated to 'get him' on the way to his car.

What did the protesters expect to happen? Also, I really hope the Rep. faces consequences for his actions, what the fuck is he doing trying to start a fight? The tolerant left I guess.

Illegals have the right to protest. Legals have the right to call ICE. ICE should setup protest areas near retention areas. Batches of illegals could be removed instead of one person at a time. Incourage illegals to protest. Illegals please self deport. Deported people should not be allowed back into our country.
