‘Civility won’t save us’: New campaign encourages Americans to ‘Be like Maxine’
The Blaze ^ | August 10, 2018 | Glenn Beck

Posted on 08/11/2018 8:05:38 AM PDT by TBP

An online “racial justice” organization called Color of Change has launched a new campaign inspired by U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters’ (D-Calif.) with the slogan: “Civility won’t save us.”

The organization is peddling limited-edition “Be Like Maxine” tote bags, along with the message that Americans should adopt the divisive congresswoman’s “fighting spirit.”

On Friday’s radio show, Glenn beck made it clear he doesn’t think what our our country needs is a bigger dose of incivility — Maxine Waters approved or not.

After pitching a tote-ad parody, Glenn added, “Black Lives Matter co-founder Alicia Garza says, ‘Civility won’t save us because this administration and white supremacy doesn’t care about being polite.’ So, Color of Change has now launched the ‘Be Like Maxine’ campaign, to encourage people to be rude. I don’t think we need to encourage any more people to be rude in America. Maybe that’s just me.”

Incivility drives people to the normals; let them be uncivil.

Note to the idiots Maxine is hoping to incite: Listen you rocket scientists, Maxine will never get nicked for fomenting violence. But you lot are far more likely to end up in the jug if you commit it. That is if you don’t pick the wrong vic and end up taking a dirt nap.

Use your noggins. Don’t be cannon fodder.

Actually, now that I think about it, that could be sincere. When commies are moving the ball, they think all is good with the world, so why would anyone be grumpy?

“Fighting spirit”.

Take care how you choose those whom you would declare to be enemies.

“Fighting spirit” is not a limited commodity.

steps to be like Maxinine
1) despite their formerly bad reputation lobotomies are in sale now at the AMA.

2) after the lobotomy, there is no step two as you will be exactly like Maxinine

The Left hates you and wants you dead.

There’s no civility in that. We didn’t start this. They did.

It’s up to us to finish things.

Well when the communists make w touchdown they always celebrate with mass murder parties. When I retire I will celebrate by getting a CCW.

A dead thug is a civil one.

I think that has the makings of a great ad for republicans. Snipits of the mob attacks on Sec Nielsen, reports of Sarah’s restaurant visit, attacks against Mitch McConnell, Antifa riots, Mad Max telling people to harass republicans, a clip of the congressmen practicing for a ball game, punctuated with a gun shot and the words “is this the America you want your kids to grow up in?”

Does this mean that Democrats are rejecting Obama's call for civility when he gave a memorial speech in Tucson after the Gabby Giffords shooting where they handed out t-shirts like it was a rally?

With Democrats, it's all for show; it's all about what is expedient in the moment.

If calling for riots and incivility is what it takes now, then that's what Democrats will do.
