There, a Rand Paul volunteer stepped on a liberal activist’s head after she was tackled. “Sitting on the sideline is a complicit act in socially reproducing the status quo,” Daugherty said. “We must remember there is no such thing as a ‘real world’ out there. The real world is a social construction, and only through the social deconstruction of that world can we begin the long and arduous task of producing a better world for our children and grandchildren and future generations of humanity.”
