    Conservative speaking tours are NAZI RALLIES! Not a joke or understatement, this is how they spread nazi propaganda in person.

    Not a book tour. Not a speaking engagement. Fucking Nazi rallies.

      The only rule is mob rule.

      If enough people want you gone, it doesn’t matter if you’re breaking any of their rules.

      We’re a species of proud hypocrites.
