Democrats keep pushing for expenses and expect all of us to cover it. People have the illusion it will just be felt by the rich and that's not reality. Republicans entertain the idea of cutting the budget, but the democrats treat any potential cut as the end of the world. Frankly, we couldn't get taxed enough to cover how out of control spending has gotten. The $20+ trillion debt didn't happen from tax cuts, its the increased spending. The only options are reduce spending OR slow spending so the economy can catch up.

Republicans/right leaning people getting chastised in public primarily for having opposing views has become common place. Its also become common for right leaning speakers to have their events shut down due to the intolerant left. Even personally I've had left leaning friends/acquaintances became hostile simply because my views differ.

Its not just about refusing service, dems are using it at as means of grandstanding. It accomplished nothing, the manager had to step down and it created sympathy for people on the right.  For comparison sake, the baker who refused to provide a custom cake for a gay couple didn't refuse service entirely. They were allowed to buy other things, just not a custom gay wedding cake. That baker is considered a bigot but in comparison was actually classy.

So are you totally forgetting that when every republican president has come into office the deficit has tripled under their control.  This notion that Republicans are concerned about the deficit is only when a Democrat is in office, when a Republican becomes president, they totally forget about the deficit spend more money then the Dems and have even lesser means to pay it.  I am neither Dem or Republican as I see both parties as seeking their own interest.  What I find funny is how people put blinders on for their own party because they believe they care when really they only care about staying in power.

As to the Red Hen issue, I noticed how you seem to totally ignore the response.  Good clean protest is one thing, death threats, throwing poop, eggs and other vandalism is garbage but it appears as long as you can ignore those parts you can concentrate on one person not want one official in their restaurant.  You talk about hostile left and totally forget the actions of the right.  The thing is, no matter what party you recognize yourself to belong to, human nature is human nature.  Trying to say people on the left are more a holes than right just means you only look at the actions of one side and ignore what happens on the right.

Oh, I'm not denying republicans play a part in the spending problem. Even with Trump I had no anticipation of serious budget cuts or reduced spending.

In fact, republicans got trashed by their peers for passing a budget that had significant spending increases. Dems don't care though, more spending is treated as a win.

The manager acted like a fringe idiot and made the establishment a lightning rod for fringe idiots. Essentially, she did something the business as a whole may not have been comfortable with and probably why she's gone. Frankly, if you grandstand a public figure, it may come with consequences.

I genuinely feel people on the left are more likely to be "a holes." But they don't have all the "a holes" if that makes you feel better.
