Today’s Ted Takes

I am no Trump fan, but I thought we learned in 2016 this sort of arrogance doesn't bring people to our side.

And blocking traffic here:

And of course, it's Trump supporters who are burning our cities down, terrorizing folks in their homes, tearing down statutes of Founding Fathers (Washington & Jefferson), of defenders of American Indians (Pike), and Unionists (Lincoln).

It's funny, and sad, how the left has embraced the McCarthy attitudes of my youth: opposition to free speech, and, now, labeling those of differing views as "Un-American". Perhaps, Rosa can lead a House Committee to investigate such activities.

Let's not be naïve. These people were never, nor will they ever be on our side.

First of all, anyone who says he "isn't a Trump fan" is invariably a Trump fan. Much as the person who says he "is not a racist" is invariably a racist. Secondly, blocking public highways and running campaign buses off the road is about as egregious a violation of American principles as you can get.

This political cartoon seems twisted to me. If you drive down a street and see an American flag draped on the side of a house, or one flying in the wind on the back of a pickup truck, most people assume its a Republican voter.

Tedlittleford: I agree about blocking public highways! Somehow I missed your attacks on the BLM people blocking I-95 in New Haven, the UNITE HERE folks blocking Elm St., Pat Kane, Norm Clement and Nate Blair blocking Route 34 and Church Street after Trump's election, as well as your anger at BLM folks not only blocking highways but attacking folks in their cars who just want to get home, or to work, throwing Molotov cocktails into occupied cars, and burning and looting businesses and homes.
