Yeah the option I choose is that Maxine is going to say what she is going to say and we all get to decide how we feel about that.

What exactly is wrong with public officials being protested?

 

[sixthson]

I think she is the female Peter Fonda.

 

[TickTockMan]

I vote all of the above.



To me it is a bit rude, but they are messing with people's lives so they should be protested if people feel they need to.

This article makes my thoughts better than above.

I do think if not done right it will help Trump pump up his supporters and their victim complex.

As long as these people engage in acts like stealing children and incarcerating them in concentration camps and a hundred other acts each day designed to wound and literally kill others....they shouldn't be entitled to peace when they decide to appear in public.

Let us take a knee.

Again,

Let us take a knee.

Again,

Again, again, and again. Don't suppose POTUS will get, but will make all about himself.

Again.

Given the fascist trajectory of this administration and the willing complicity of those working for it, I think Maxine Waters is right in principle. Not serving Trump cabinet members is like standing up and not serving Himmler, Goebbels, or Goering. If it is okay with them not to bake the cake it is also okay not to serve them cake.

Resist Fascism in every way possible.

This. And I didn't vote in the poll, several of the options kind of overlap and the poll seems biased, there was no "I support this one hundred percent, give em hell Auntie Maxine" option

Enforcing immigration laws is not "fascism." I cannot believe this idiot keeps getting elected.

 

[nycguydowntown]

is the orange nightmare the only politician that can vent and get shit off his chest?---I think not.

 

[cityboy-stl]

This is not about enforcing immigration laws. It is about intolerance, corruption, money, power and especially control.

Vice President Henry Wallace during World War Two:

Enforcing immigration laws is not "fascism." I cannot believe this idiot keeps getting elected.

Actually, that's exactly what Fascists do- there's always an anti-immigrant, racial-purity component to their rhetoric.

 

[frankfrank]

Following through with this kind of action is nothing more than "red meat" for Repugnantans.

They have no problem doing the same thing, though, toward anybody who is "the other."

 

[fabulouslyghetto]

people are dying, the paperwork is NOT as important as protecting and housing our neighbors, at least not to people who aren't racist.

This poll is closed.


Methodology

Respondents were offered 7 choices in reaction to Representative Waters’ call for harassment of Trump cabinet members. All the responses that were offered represent paraphrases or excerpts of public statements made by notorious persons in government or closely associated with government. The responses are merely one collection of statements as gathered and reported by University of Chicago graduate Jamie Ehrlich – who last month completed her degree in Political Science.

Respondents were asked to choose “the most appropriate response” from the collection provided. The poll did not feature an option for “none of the above” or similar alternative to the choices presented.



Attributions


A majority of Jubbers divided equally between 2 of the 7 choices:

Poll: “Maxine Waters’ statements are unacceptable, but reflect the behavior of Donald Trump.”

In the crucial months ahead, we must strive to make America beautiful again. Trump’s daily lack of civility has provoked responses that are predictable but unacceptable. As we go forward, we must conduct elections in a way that achieves unity from sea to shining sea.

Poll: “Maxine Waters is entitled to her opinion and we should respect that.”

To get sidetracked into these debates about whether or not somebody was welcome at a restaurant takes our eyes off of what's going on in America today.

Maxine Waters is entitled to her opinion and I respect that.

Representative Espaillat (pronounced AD-ree-ah-noh // ES-pī-at) holds the distinction of being the first formerly undocumented immigrant to ever serve in the US Congress.​

A separate third of Jubbers divided equally between 2 of the other 7 choices:

Poll: “Maxine Waters’ statements are very dangerous.”

Maxine Waters should apologize to the American public [for her] very dangerous rhetoric.

Poll: “Maxine Waters has a right to speak her mind, but should do so respectfully.”

The American people have the right to speak their mind, and I agree that they ought to express their deep frustration with the Trump Administration's policies.

We can do so while maintaining respect, notwithstanding President Trump's lack of civility. We should rise above his hatefulness.

---

A small percentage of Jubbers divided equally between 2 of the other 7 choices:

Poll: “Nobody deserves to be treated as Maxine Waters suggests.”

Left or right, nobody deserves this kind of treatment.

Poll: “Maxine Waters’ statements are absolutely insane and extremely dangerous.”

This is absolutely insane – and extremely dangerous. My father in law works in the administration, does this mean when we go out to dinner we should be ambushed?!?

Don’t ever again give me any of the “when they go low, we go high” lip service.

---

No Jubbers selected one of the choices:

Poll: “Maxine Waters should be regarded as the face of the Democratic Party.”

Congresswoman Maxine Waters, an extremely low IQ person, has become, together with Nancy Pelosi, the Face of the Democrat Party. She has just called for harm to supporters, of which there are many, of the Make America Great Again movement. Be careful what you wish for Max!

 

[ballcaphair]

I'm sorry, but our president is a troll and he has the whole nation talking about Maxine's advice, which is sound, but she's better than this. She's above it. Everyone everyone's analyzing Maxine, defending or condemning her. The national conversation should be about the child-abusing, kidnapper who is destroying our country. He gave her tweet advice to be careful what she wished for. I've got advice for Maxine,too: Walk softly and carry a great big huge fu*king stick.
