So then why did they choose this particular event to form a protest?


You ask that like you think it's the first anti-ICE protest in the country. Did you miss the histrionics of California last year?

A refresher

That is true but I've read alot of it has to do with the void in these white female's lives.

The curtain is coming down and panic is setting in because they are cornered.

They are getting close to their last ditch efforts and so they are releasing all the useful idiots.

In the last 24 hours though you have seen a lot of the professional - fighting age illegal males showing themselves. The physical attack on officers and burning of vehicles was not done by blue haired women and soy boys.

I would bet most anything that the same people protesting ICE and moaning about draconian police actions were the same ones advocating for concentration camps for the unvaccinated.

If you are without principles you can be easily manipulated into aggressively fighting for contrary objectives.

1. They hate Trump;

2. They reject what the rest of the country overwhelmingly voted for in a landslide.

This is the equivalent of some kids not liking how the teams were picked and then throwing sand all over the court so nobody can play.

Examples of paid provocateurs and who paid them, please.
I'm speaking in general. It seems all major protests like this include a percentage of paid actors. It really only takes a small percentage to get the followers on board.

Nothing

They are fighting against President Trump.

If Trump says it's bad they must defend it.

If Trump says it's good they must attack it.

Pretty much the liberal vote-bot mentality.

It isn't just Minnesota.

Many think what they are doing is the right thing to do. I see tons of those of the older age grouping during the day. These people still watch big news corp. They honestly think ICE is rounding up and deporting black and brown citizens. They also think there is no due process involved.

Many are paid protestors. We see these come out later, mostly at night. They are agitators and are more violent. They are younger and more ideologic. They also believe they are fighting fascism.

Also, protestors hear the local politicians, who are of a different political sway than the admin, and think "shite, these ICE guys are assholes". Local government does no one any favors. They just whip people into a frenzy. Why? Maybe scared to loose voter base. Who knows if that is true until we know it is true.

All I know is that what is happening now has happened many times before. Never was it a big deal until Trump got in. He isn't doing anything different other than the platitudes at the pulpit. Maybe that truly is the difference.

Several reasons why people protest and Minn is far from the only place.

They're fighting against Orange Man Bad because he's literally Hitler. It is impossible to convince them of anything except for that narrative.

These people are bored, complacent and angry, and it's the human condition to tribalize and "need" a perceived enemy. That enemy, they're told, is the Marmalade Marauder. The Tangerine Tyrant.

People want to just laugh at the soy Left and say "you pussies won't do anything" and "we have all the guns", but they don’t understand how zealous and fanatical the Left has become. They're unhinged like I've never seen before, and there's many of them who are actually purchasing firearms and learning to use them (suddenly fans of the Second Amendment, ironically).

So imagine 100,000 militant extremist liberals in MN who are recently minted gun owners, and they're ruled by ebullitions of seething hatred and feel virtuous that they're actually fighting literal Nazis. They clearly cannot control their emotions and have no tolerance for wrongthink. Many of them have openly advocated for the death of Trump, conservatives and federal law enforcement agents. And now they're armed up.

Am I the only one who sees how dangerous that is? It doesn't take shite to send these people into emotional nuclear meltdown and now they might have an AR15 with them when it happens. Their utter lack of lifetime experience with firearms makes them even more dangerous, as they lack focus and would rather "spray and pray" than to practice decisive and judicious logic in the heat of the moment.

We should be concerned.

we live in a clown world. It seems like if you are a politician or citizen living in a crime ridden city you would welcome any law enforcement agency to help protect the citizens and property...but since Trump is leading this any majority liberal city will vehemently oppose his efforts by claiming he is a nazi blah blah blah. Liberals are just whack.

Well, maybe if he didn't keep giving them reason to?

It's extremely dangerous. Why is Trump fanning the flames? He's already deployed the largest ICE raid in the history of the country and now he's doubling down with even more agents and threatening the Insurrection Act.

Maybe if he pulled back and wasn't so aggressive in his approach. He says he's after illegal aliens, and that's fine, but he's doing it in a way that is purposely agitating the people of that state.

There is absolutely no reason to have that many ICE agents in Minnesota, and there's absolutely no reason to be that aggressive towards citizens to the point of shooting them.

If his goal was to deport illegals, he would pull back, tell the agents to turn it down a few decibels and do their job.

But that's not what's happening. You can hardly blame the people of Minnesota for their reaction.

Trump is purposely being overly aggressive. That much is obvious.

They are fighting for the God given right to have all of their tax money stolen.
