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

I think that many of these people were paid to protest, but they were still angry and crazy.
“I think that many of these people were paid to protest, but they were still angry and crazy.”
Any franchises provide free coffee? Inquiring minds want to know.
The Siren Call of Socialism still wails in the ears of the young generations as it always has.
It is the young and inexperienced that heed that call and fall upon the Rocks of Reality....................
Old angry white people are showing up nationwide at these rallies…where are they coming from? Apparently this demographic is susceptible to being groomed into being angry without any real understanding of why
Soros obtained the phone numbers of every Jitterbug in the country.
I have been watching the You Tube videos of the various protests against Ice. There are three prominent groups.
The protests are in Fact the actual ongoing Civil War II between the City States and America.
The first are the black clad, gas mask wearing paid protesters. They occupy the very front lines and stay in the officer’s faces. They are the ones who get arrested
The second group is composed of late twenties or early thirties women. They are extremely loud as they show up between the black cladders and vociferously sound off. They are the very definition of the word obnoxious. The officers very patiently ignore them. Once in a while one will in an instant of over exorbitance make contact with an officer and then scream to high heaven as they are wrestled on the ground.
The third and largest of the three are the photographers. They are protesters who spend their whole time taking videos of what they are experiencing. The videos are I have come to believe “I was there proof”. They do not engage other than to take videos and join in any chant that might be started. This group represents the great mass of the protest
“Old angry white people are showing up nationwide at these rallies…where are they coming from?”
All of these older folk are trying to relive their radical left youth. That’s what we saw at No Kings. The left is trying to bring back the 60’s, but there is nothing to coalesce around.
They’ve forgotten what they’re for, or against!
“Hey, hey, ho, ho
Something or other has got to go!”
Old angry white women are what I'm mostly seeing. I'm guessing their parents are long dead and their ex-husbands took off long ago, so Trump has become the surrogate male target for all their unresolved Daddy Issues.
