Recent Mass Leftist Protests Show A Party That Has Crossed the Rubicon
By Ron Wright
The Radical Left (“RL”) no longer has a coherent message. President Trump, with his platform focused on restoring public order, promoting economic prosperity, securing the borders, advocating for merit-based policies, and opposing the inclusion of boys in girls’ sports, among other issues, appealed to voters, resulting in his landslide victory in 2024. The RL’s rebranding as Democratic Socialism (Mamdani, AOC, and Sanders) is nothing more than the Old Pied Piper promise of a new utopia if given more public money and power. The RL’s Marxist/Islamofascist ideology remains fundamentally at odds with and a real threat to our constitutional republic.
The Hands Off & No Kings protests and Charlie Kirk’s birthday events are quite telling. Kirk’s celebrations were mostly organic. The No Kings protests were manufactured with tired gaslit messaging. The RL continues to label President Trump as a Nazi, fascist, and more. The RL weakly disavowed Kirk’s political assassination. The legacy media initially attempted to downplay Kirk’s assassin’s political beliefs. When that failed, the media painted Kirk as a Christian White Nationalist, homophobic, misogynistic, racist, anti-Israel, and other terms. This assessment is not accurate (See here).
There were significant differences between these events in organizational structure, messaging, funding, and legacy media coverage (See here). One was largely organic and genuine. The other was deceptive, used astroturf tactics with paid protesters, and funded by hidden sources.
The same activist group, Indivisible.org, organized both the Hands Off protests in the spring and the No Kings protests later in the summer:
...[the protesters at Hands Off were] definitely angry, and that this anger is driven by Marxism, media propaganda, and deep hatred for Donald Trump.

I [talked with a] twenty-something woman for about fifteen minutes... She offered myriad anti-Trump slogans that Trump is a fascist, he is destroying Social Security, illegal aliens are being illegally deported without due process, Trump and Musk are making cuts to give tax cuts to the rich oligarchs, Trump is a convicted felon and rapist and so forth...
[snip]
.When I challenged the woman by saying her statements were factually incorrect, she seemed bewildered.

If challenged on their knowledge of current events, history, civics, the law, and the Constitution, [protesters] were not able to give logical and intelligible replies.

[Indivisible.org] is a well-oiled and funded community organizer group . . . uses performance art [as a tactic]...may have ties...to George Soros’ Tides Foundation.
