Opinion | Debra Messing: 'In America, now more than ever, dissent is a patriotic act. It is patriotic to stand up for our beliefs and rights and the rights of those who may not be able to stand up for themselves.' - NBCNewsTHINK

To the people who feel like they don't have the energy, take care of yourself. Because if you're not strong and you're not healthy, then you're not going to be a good advocate. But also know that little, tiny things still matter. For example, if you want to help make sure that people are registered to vote for this November, you can send voter registration postcards while watching TV on your couch. Even if you do one postcard a night, that's worth celebrating.

A young African American man is hunted down and killed in cold blood. His name, and the names of his killers, are now known. But until video was released showing the shooting, most Americans had never heard of them or that a beautiful young man out for a jog had been hunted down and executed. Racism and police brutality are issues that desperately need more attention. But what about health care inequality? What about sexual harassment and gun violence? Being a dissenter means saying it’s not OK for there to be as many mass shootings as there are days in the year.

THINK Exactly right. Since we, as Patriots, don’t have a voice as loud as HollywoodElitists or the DemocratPartyMedia... We need to stand up for those who are hypnotized by their Propaganda. We must protect them from themselves. SocialismKills SocialistDistancing 🇺🇸

THINK Maybe it should be called “in dissent exposure”

THINK Not when it infringes on other people's rights.

THINK Remind me, what did you do to that woman who came forward to share her story about being sexually assaulted? Oh that’s right you posted about her past to discredit and shame her. You’re that last person who should be talking about being patriotic and standing up for others.

THINK ... unless it's dissent about govt mandated masks wearing.

THINK If showing that sign is Patriotic, then I feel for America. GetWellSoon 🤮

THINK Debra who ?

THINK Don't even get me started about this .......

THINK Does she feel that way about those in Michigan who stormed the capital in protest?

THINK Messy you support this JoeBidenIsRacist

THINK Civil disobedience coming of vaccines are mandatory or coercive denying travel or services via bio vaccine passports or tracing. John Statmiller RBN radio network warns. Shoot to kill.

THINK She is true Patriot.

THINK Dissent against the the Global Goverment Leftist Socialist Hollywood Death Cult. DisobeyAllLockdowns JailGenocidalLeftists realDonaldTrump debramessing

THINK Awww... now go feed the kitty

THINK Messing is advocating for Dem dissent. There is nothing patriotic about Obama & his conspirators planning & implementing a coup. I imagine if conservatives dissent, Messing & her Liberal will say it’s fomenting violence. Conservatives need to do massive protests agst Lib actions.

THINK Debra Messing....another nut job, has-been Liberal Celebrity in her own mind that most people in America couldn’t care less about let alone care about anything she says or thinks!

THINK This goes for social outlets like Facebook that trample our 1st amendment rights and Fox News for aiding and abetting a known liar and thief

missb62 THINK I stood up for students...Muslim, LGBTQ, African American, that the Director and her Ass't began terminating and harassing the day tRUMP won the election. I was terminated for my patriotism from my University position of 20 years and lost everything cuz of it. Was it worth it?

THINK

THINK This is drivel from some out of touch liberal ‘actress’. Who really gives a s—t. May as well have that idiot Alyssa_Milano do an op ed. Barf.

THINK Hell yes!! TrumpDeathToll100K TrumpLiesAmericansDie TrumpIsANationalDisgrace TrumpIsALoser

THINK You mean like a revolution and stuff? 1776

lacadri34 THINK julibriskman = patriot

THINK

THINK JoeBidenIsRacist DemocratsAreEnemiesOfAmerica DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica YouAintBlack JoeBidenIsARacist Stop trying to change the conversation. It's going to be a Trump2020Landslide because we are sick of the FakeNewsMedia

THINK She had been clear for years. It’s ok for liberals to stand up for their beliefs and be heard, but not conservatives. The liberals hate that conservatives are not taking their BS anymore.

THINK I as a veteran say never vote for a democrat or listen to them

THINK Thank you Messing for affirming that Standing up for what I believe is good. I believe you are a screeching liberal idiot 🧍‍♀️

THINK ✊🏼✊🏾✊✊🏿✊🏻✊🏽

THINK Why does it always have to be racial w liberals?! Their entire lives revolve w an obsession on race/identity culture. WTF is wrong w these ppl?! I dissent everytime, despite race, to the pop culture PC BS liberals constantly blather about! 🤮 coronavirus

THINK Do as we say not as we do. - sincerely, Hollywood

THINK One can dissent without being rude. Using such hand signals or similar things in words does not lead to productive discussion. Still IMO she should not have been fired.

THINK Of course, we all are on pins and needles, waiting for, DebraMessing's opinion!

THINK Except not in NY or Michigan- stay inside & don’t disobey us.

THINK

THINK Like voting for legislators and other leaders who support the following! MedicareForAll RentRelief CancelStudentDebt UniversalBasicIncome UBI

THINK Libs vs the US army, I doubt you'll win.

THINK When rational people envision dissent, they immediately think of resisting an overarching government reaching in and controlling their lives. The left envisions dissent as accelerating this type of tyranny by any means necessary. 🤦‍♂️

THINK Why would anyone care what DebraMessing has to say?! 😂 WalkAwayFromDemocrats Trump2020Landslide

THINK She can’t even make it 2 paragraphs without lying..... 🙄😬

THINK I’m dissenting against people like her with her wrong opinions, so that should count as patriotism too, right?

THINK Debra, we really don’t care what you think.

THINK Sadly…dissent from the news is now the unpatriotic slant…no longer is ‘government’ the threat, the shadow government is real threat.

THINK Giving dingbats like Messing an opinion piece, is not helping anyone take you seriously🙄

THINK Says the Satanic worshipper 🤔. She needs to find Jesus and repent.

THINK

THINK No thanks Debra. You are for yourself & your 1% friends. The End.

THINK Absolutely!

THINK Smart woman

THINK Better: Debra Messing makes the case against Civil Rights.

THINK Freedom over Tyranny

THINK Govt must index wages to industry profits implement a basic income from taxes on stock trading and consumer sales. Work from home mean most if us can live anywhere cheaper smaller towns plants warehouses planned in less costly regions

THINK Her opinion on this will flip 180 degrees the moment the next Democratic president is sworn in.

THINK Correct

THINK Agreed

THINK Except for criticizing corporate news media, right?

THINK Inalienable rights!

THINK Agreed, but DebraMessing isn't really pro-dissent; she's pro HER kind of dissent; did Ms. Messing support those protesting the Michigan Governor's shutdown? No. Did Ms. Messing support the Orange County protestors wanting beach access? Of course not.

THINK How many news outlets report realDonaldTrump has taken ZERO during his time in office? Has donated over 1.4 millions tax payer dollars back to the country.

THINK Speaking of beliefs: 'You ain't black' if you don't vote for me 😳

THINK 🤒🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤒 🤢🤒🤮😵🤮🤮🤮😵🤮🤒🤢 🤢🤢🤒🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤒🤢🤢 🤢😵🤢🤒🤮😵🤮🤒🤢😵🤢 🤢🤢🤢😵🤒🤮🤒😵🤢🤢🤢 🤢😵🤢🤒🤮😵🤮🤒🤢😵🤢 🤢🤢🤒🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤒🤢🤢 🤢🤒🤮😵🤮🤮🤮😵🤮🤒🤢 🤒🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤒

THINK EndTheShutdownNow EndTheShutdownNow EndTheShutdownNow EndTheShutdownNow EndTheShutdownNow

THINK Says the pampered Hollywood princess...

THINK Is this the same Debra Messing who tells leftists that she doesn't agree with to shut up on Twitter? 'Resistance' liberals are the biggest frauds on the planet. In a decade, they'll have rehabilitated Trump just like they did with Bush. Trump was their friend before anyway.

THINK So it's ok to be disrespectful 🤔

THINK Adios DemocRATs In Hollywood

THINK Harvey weinsteins friend has an opinion.

THINK Nobody gives a shit about what Debra messing thinks! Who’s opinion next? Screech from saved by the bell?

THINK Exactly DebraMessing !

The Pandemic Disaster Is the Price of American ArroganceIt’s not just Trump. We need to overhaul our approach to foreign policy to prevent another catastrophe like this.

I think you meant 'seen' not 'saw'.

Debra Messing Is 'Tired' of Women in Media Being Pitted Against Each OtherExclusive: Debra Messing is not here for those who pit women against each other — despite any reports about her past feuds during WillandGrace. Isn’t Debra Messing the person who picked a fight on Twitter with Susan Sarandon over Bernie? So she’s sick of women fighting against each other? But if she were to encounter a conservative female... how would she treat her? From all that I’ve seen, not very stinking nicely. All people deserve respect. No matter their gender or political affiliation.
