Kicking the Trump administration out of restaurants is not something I would do. It plays right into their hands, but I understand the angst. People, like the Homeland Sec and Sarah Huckabee Sanders, continue to obfuscate the truth or to outright lie while they facilitate a president who does terrible things. This is not about a mere difference of political ideology. Not at all. This is about ripping families apart and putting brown kids in cages without any plan to ever reunite them. Without some kind of pressure, this behavior would have continued. If I'd been a restaurant owner, I would have inserted myself right next to them at their table and talked their ear off while calmly naming every single lie they told on the issue until they relented, incriminated themselves, or left while having a friend record the whole thing. Calm is key! Anything else plays into the misleading narrative of today's republican party that Dems are the outrageous ones. We're just clumsy. The conservatives playing politics with semantics, changing the conversation, or remaining completely quiet, those are the real outrageous people. If Obama had done anything like this, I wouldn't have let it go until it was addressed. In fact, the few sins he had during his 8 years, I did just that. Republicans tend to have more of a herd mentality. The most visible ones don't typically like to stray from the pack for fear of being seen as a R.I.N.O.
