Letters: ‘Indivisible’ sounds like a bunch of bullies

I fully support the First Amendment, unlike many on the left and college students. It is your right to disagree with anyone including your elected officials. However “trolling with a sock puppet” at a town hall meeting or shouting so the speakers can’t express their views is not a civil discussion (“Indivisible hopes to shake up S.C.’s red-state politics,” May 25). It is an effort to get your picture in the paper or appear on TV to satisfy your ego.

This is happening far too often now because some on the left can’t or won’t engage in a civil debate. The idea that members of the group Indivisible are using tea-party tactics is not correct as that group did not do everything it could to stop people from speaking. Like it or not, Donald Trump is the president, and shouting down speakers to “resist” harms the country. To enact change in the system, do it at the ballet box.
