The protesters are just being manipulated by emotional appeals. It is pretty easy to do.



ummmm you do know it's proven that the DNC organized and paid protestors at trump rallies and that there are verified craigslist ads for protestors right?

like not fake new, verifiable stuff.

No, on the right they are synonymous because it allows you to lump them together in an attempt to de-legitimize the protesters.

Well the 150 or so that showed up on the college campus in California last week all dressed in identical black uniforms, and sporting typical weapons, bats, pipes etc.was certainly funded and coordinated by someone.

I don't need to call them rioters in order to delegitimize them. Most of them delegitimize themselves with their behavior.

Maybe because there isn't any to be found. Maybe the 'evidence' you suggest was placed by interested parties. Perhaps it's just alternative facts for which you are searching

I'm going to need something more the CL ads to believe that a "significant" portion of the protesters are being paid

Step 1) Soros has his lieutenants setup shell organizations
Step 2) Shell organizations fund action groups
Step 3) Action groups use funding to buy signs, setup transportation and hire low level organizers who actually run the protest


this makes sense

handing out checks to thousands of people to protest doesn't

Their violence, disgusting rhetoric, unintelligible messaging, and vagina hats take care of that.

Some probably are but relative to the number of people who have been protesting I'd wager it's a pretty small amount.

So you're saying all of these protesters are spending their vacation and time off work protesting? Amazing how they all can schedule the exact same time off ahead of time isn't it?

Considering the many fruit loops who've gotten 15 seconds of fame during the protests you'd think the left would be all for pretending they're not real.

We all got together, got high on life and let the voices ring out.
