  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Well, at least the charter bus companies should be making bank. Out of the 70+ million who allegedly voted for Kamala, it's a pretty thin showing, really. Wonder what percentage is paid for their appearance?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I was surprised by the crowds too...I have noticed that a large amount look to be seniors probably worried about their SS and falling for the Dem constant line that Repubs will take away their SS and this time with Musk auditing the agency people believe it.

Or, they were there supplementing their SocSec by protesting. It pays well.

I wasn't surprised.

I'm finding ultimately ironic that they are screaming "Hands Off" i.e. S/S, while their side encouraged 2M illegals to put their hands in the tlll and dilute the pool.

So last night, I watched two of the Indivisible training events where they trained activists for today’s totally pre-scripted, pre-planned and pre-orchestrated protests.

For a movement that continues to say they are non-violence they sure do use a lot of violent rhetoric. They call the Trump administration a “hostile takeover” and demand a “forceful rejection” of the current leadership.

“Hostile takeover” isn’t the language of peaceful assembly. It’s the language of regime change.

All the trainings prime protestors to see the government not as an institution to reform—but as something illegitimate and dangerous.

The rhetoric gets worse as the trainings go on:

•“We must meet this moment with mass mobilization.”

•“Stop the MAGA takeover of our government.”

•“All hands on deck to stop the fascist threat.”

Indivisible, MoveOn and Working Families Party all had representatives at the training and all three of them provided exact signs and verbiage and tips on how to avoid being tracked.

I have never heard of a spontaneous protest that has weekly organization calls, tool kits, and pre-printed signage for everyone.

What is so insane about these people is that fascist as a whole want the government to control you at all levels.

Trump's trying to get government out of lives, and reducing it as a whole. If anything, he is the opposite.   How they say this with a straight face is beyond me.  But the MSM has been doing it for years too, so.......

What's really funny about these 70-year-old protesters is that once upon a time, they were all, "Fight the establishment!" Now they agitating for the establishment. Bigger government for everyone!!

Life Alert call centers were inundated with "Help I've Fallen" calls from inside the "Hands Off" rally's around the country.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

So Soros wasn't able to round up enough BLM and Antifa recruits, and now has to rely on burnt out hippies?

They are reliving their youth by shaking canes and dosing on Advil.

Trump has been consistent on Social Security, he has no intention of doing anything negative in its regard.  So, why demonstrate on something that is not an issue. 

I do believe we need to make changes however for future recipients.  Longevity is not what it was when Social Security was started.  I think collecting prior to FRA should be halted for folks under age 50 or 55.  And I am a firm believer that individual accounts should be started, and end the Congress STEALING the funds earmarked for senior citizens.

Drove through Jamestown (generally the most left-wing city around my neck of the woods that I regularly visit) while driving and no sign of any of this.

But the message screams of this in my head:

It's just Marxist street theater that has nothing to do with the issues at hand. 'We aren't in power and we are mad' rallies more like.

Yes in my town it was usual perennial lefty protestors, dusted off their pink hats, headed out in the cold rain to be ignored by most motorists.

I see only one organization listed there - the Democrat Party.  Each of those icons is a front for that party.
