I thought it was scary, too. It was also so completely out of the blue that it left us feeling really confused and uneasy when the group swept off. Even some people in our group who I’m sure were Obama voters didn’t like it or were really puzzled by it.
It’s like they don’t already have their leftist paws in education enough, changing words in textbooks, mostly Marxist (in my opinion) public school teachers, all the pc rules.... now they have to send snitches in?
I saw something sorta similar that made me wonder if I was living in the pre-Stalinist days that my parents and grandparents escaped from....
I’d go down to the border for various activities (with the Minutemen, or for political speeches, or to help the ranchers clean up, etc.), and the ACLU snitches/college students would be stationed at the entries of the private ranches, taking photos, probably license plates.
If we were on a public road, they’d drive up and down to try to intimidate.
We were the ordinary Americans —— like we see more of surfacing now in the town halls —— and they wanted to destroy/scare/intimidate/report us.
