    Imagine how much of a sociopath you’d have to be to think you can bring people to your side by harassing preschoolers; that’s a Westboro Baptist Church level of being out of touch with humanity.

      Nahhhhh. Westboro are antisemitic, homophobic, Islamophobic, and generally a hate group. This is just protesting. You don’t get to help blow up families and claim your family is suppose to be shielded from it

    If your going to be harassed for anything, actively supporting a genocide seems like a good reason. Sorry I won’t be clutching my pearls on this one.

    I suspect that if protesters camped outside of my house and screamed at my young children about my actions, I would reflexively oppose whatever they were advocating for. I just can’t see this being an effective tactic for ending the war in Gaza.

    But, I’m not Bliken who is not a politican but an experienced diplomat.

      It’s easy to see why the right enjoys “owning the libs” so much. The left includes many people who are so bad at persuasion or making points that it can drive people who otherwise support what they are trying to push to hate them.

      Though it’s dangerous to actually change your stance based on actions of some who apparently support something, because that opens up the possibly of the opponents hiring people to protest in bad taste like this specifically to drive opposition.
