[quote=harvey]And this is how propaganda works.[/quote]pri_dk, why don’t you tell the Piggs how all these young people were able to gather together and organize themselves into dozens of carefully-orchestrated protests? Did they all take the bus downtown from the suburbs or park in $20+ day lots downtown one day just to spend hours in the cold shouting at the top of their lungs, carrying signs and foul-mouthing cops? Aren’t some of them missing work and/or school? How is it that the downtrodden, homeless, mentally ill and drifters are able to organize themselves in such a fashion after sleeping on the cold dirty sidewalk with no shower for days and having little to nothing to eat that morning? Were 500+ of them just hanging out together (with their shopping carts) one day on just one city block and said to each other, “Let’s get together and start a movement. That will get us a bed to sleep in tonight and breakfast tomorrow.”
Sorry kid, but money talks and BS walks.
It is actually YOU who is buying into the “propaganda” of the MSM. You simply cannot wrap your head around the fact that your precious Dems with their “dark horse” heavy contributors (ex: Soros) have had to resort to this due to their choice of an uninspiring, subpar 2016 presidential candidate and thus are now corrupt. Soros (thru 2 middlemen) paid 3 different “organizations” (including “La Raza”) to protest on the streets of SD outside of the Trump Rally in May of this year, all waving Mexican flags. The SD County Democratic Party released a list of these groups who intended to protest Trump’s rally two weeks in advance, as required to get a permit to protest. Much to their chagrin, they ended up being relegated to Petco Park and southward (4+ blocks from the rally entrance) and during the rally, barricaded down there by law enforcement consisting mostly of borrowed personnel from 27 city, county and Federal agencies.
If you don’t mind your tax dollars being spent in this fashion just to have one political candidate come into town and speak for 1.5 hours, then you just keep drinking your special kool-aid while listening to your fav ultra-lib “news” pundits wringing their hands and patting each other on the back all day :=0
The fault is the city’s — why spend an extraordinary amount of money hiring thugs to keep people from exercising their 1st Amendment rights? Let them take to the streets, as the French do.
As to how people can organize: social media. I highly doubt that there are many truly homeless people among them.
BTW, I admire the hell out of Soros. He’s a savvy investor, and survived WW II as in Hungary, while being Jewish. I can’t blame him for spending his money fighting what he sees as Fascism and authoritarianism worldwide.
“When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. That shows you the power of strength. Our country is right now perceived as weak … as being spit on by the rest of the world” — DJT 1990
[quote=njtosd][quote=FlyerInHi]I like the protests. We need passion on the left so young people vote.
Trump getting elected is what happens when they don’t vote. Young people need to get with the program and vote.[/quote]
Have you seen the Craigslist ads offering $ for protesters? They could be fake – not sure. But it is pretty clear they are busing people in. You don’t see many of the protesters being interviewed – which is interesting. Or maybe I just haven’t seen them.[/quote]
It will be great if you can find out what type of compensation package they offer. In addtion, please ask if there is any benefit that associate with this employment opportunity. This might be an alternative and better gig than driving your own car with Uber on the side. Thanks in advance.
