The president and first lady headed to Texas Tuesday morning to meet with local and state leaders leaders and to tour the Texas Department of Public Safety Emergency Operations Center, or DPS for short.
Many are seeing a bright side of Harvey in that Americans are putting politics aside for the moment and looking after their fellow citizens: rescuing people (and pets, and bats) from flood waters, opening their businesses to those in need of shelter, and making donations. Of course, there are those who just can’t help themselves, even during a crisis.
Currently about 70 protestors and 5 Trump supporters outside the Austin DPS office ready to greet DJT. #ReadyToResist

It looks like the Texas Young Dems are always ready to resist, even if the president is visiting to get an update on the relief effort.

Hey, the Texas Young Democrats are multifaceted and intersectional and can resist more than one thing at a time … look.

The thing about being progressive is we can be multifaceted and intersectional in our action: we can HELP others and CALL OUT bad policy.

We understand this is hard to understand for some: the idea that we can create change in more than one place at once.

Don't you think that maybe now is not the time? I'm betting Trump supporters are too busy actually helping after #HurricaneHarvey to protest

Glad the .@TexasYDs are organizing to help…uh wait, sorry I stand corrected. Go home if you aren't going to help. https://t.co/ecnStfjbHh

This is why he won. You're out of touch and have nothing to offer other than division and hate.

That’s pretty much the Democrat playbook this year.
Please continue to do this nonsense. Will be helpful next election cycle.

Maybe the Young Democrats and the Trump supporters all teamed up afterward and joined in the relief effort? No, we didn’t think so.
