Tea Party 2009 vs #RESIST 2017 / Mass. Races 2018 - GBTP Boston

DATE CHANGED - I was just informed (@ 3:15) that the venue had to cancel, due to it being overbooked.

MOVED to Tuesday, May 9th.

In 2009 the Tea Party was born. In 2017, the "Trump Resistance" came into being.

Tea Party: Grassroots activists with thousands of local leaders. Millions became politically active and had huge influences in the election of Scott Brown and the US House and Senate races in 2010.

Trump Resistance: Generated primarily top down with a centralized command and control. Heavily funded by a number outside influences, and as shown by the documentary America Under Siege: Civil War 2017 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGe3pypQWl0) - these are the people the Russians were behind!

PLUS - the same way the Democrat Party had the Ku Klux Klan, the modern #Resist movement has AntiFa ("Anti-Facists"). Definitely MIS-named, since they are the anti-free speech and violent arm of the current #Resist movement.

PLUS - We will be discussing the most meaningful races in Massachusetts in 2018. All the Massachusetts Constitutional officers are up for re-election (Governor, AG, SoS, etc). And Elizabeth Warren is up for re-election, and faces a number of Republican opponents.
