They ' ve literally said patience half a dozen times in the past 3 minutes . <| sep |> I worked in insurance and superannuation before teaching . Before that , I worked in the automotive parts industry . Your perception is common but incorrect . The kids might not be there , but the work doesn ' t stop . I had less time off out in the real world than I ever did teaching . I might have gotten one relaxing week out of every two week holiday after a ten week block of 5060 hour weeks , but the rest of the holidays would be spent getting prepared for the next term . <| sep |> 1 . Secret Service can declare any area under their protection to be free of protests . If you go to DC , don ' t expect to be able to protest anywhere within sightsound of Trump 2 . This has been the most hypocritical group I ' ve seen in ages . Trump says he won ' t accept the election results if he loses , he gets called out on being a sore loser . He wins , and half the country refuses to accept the results . The Democrats complain that nothing got done because the Republicans wouldn ' t let them , Democrats then want to do the same thing . How about calling your congressperson with your opinion on important pieces of legislation , and they do their job and vote against it if they don ' t like it . If it passes , it ' s what a majority wanted anyway . 3 . Democrats aren ' t taking the HouseSenate in 2018 . There are 8 Republicans seats up in very red states , and 22 Democratic seats up , mainly in purple states . Your next chance to take back any branch is 2020 .
