NOT EVERYONE IS PROTESTING. FROM MEDIA MATTERS:
Neo-Nazi Site Daily Stormer: “It’s Victory Day.”
Hate Group Leader Richard Spencer: Trump’s Speech “Was Great” And “Really Special.”
White Nationalist Video Blogger Paul Ray Ramsey: Trump Was “Kicking Ass.”
Anti-Semitic Writer Hunter Wallace: Trump’s Inauguration Was “Awesome” And “Great.”
David Duke Tweet: “Hail Prez Trump!”
It is well known now that those protesters hurling bricks and starting fires in DC yesterday were a single set of people. They are known for being destructive and it was their intent to do so.
I loved seeing the pro and anti Trumpeters standing side by side expressing their feelings and Trump saw it as he drove towards the WH.
“Don’t mourn, organize.” – Joe Hill
The media should investigate who the violent protestors are, because they are overwhelming the coverage of mostly peaceful protestors. The media will chase the most dramatic story, not the real story, and if these protestors have been paid to overwhelm the media with violence then we need to know and find out who paid them. If they are using violence to push an agenda, we need to know that violence and be able to evaluate it. Sunshine is important here, because otherwise the story will be about the violent liberals/Democrats attacking Trump, and that plays right into the hands of the Republicans as they start to dismantle our government.
Replay of the stupidest part of the '60s. Flash: the police are not (necessarily) the enemy. They sure will be if you go out of your way to attack them.
This sort of nonsense plays directly into the hands of the Trumpers and can be an excuse to crack down, literally. That raises suspicion over who these fools are and who supports them. Some of the most vociferous “protesters” in SDS and the Weathermen were FBI provocateurs. And we still don’t know who really set the Reichstag fire.
Ah, you can always count on the AP to report violence at the margins of a peaceful protest as the story of the protest when the people protesting are left of center and to outright ignore violence when the people protesting are to the right.
It would have been nice if, during the Election, the AP reported on the goings on at Trump rallies with this level of attention to detail.
Tut tut, just a few outliers who in no way were inspired by or acted with the condonation and connivance of Trump. Not like these DFH radicals doing what DFH radical leftists always do.
If only Democrats and progressives could have mustered this level of enthusiasm and organization to defeat Dump in the first place. Alas, while it’s good to see people protesting and committing themselves to resisting Dump’s presidency, this is just a little too little a little too late.
Tweet this, Trump!
THIS is what makes America great!
Yeah, turning out to vote where it counted might have been nice.
Assuming these are not Trump supporters trying to make us look bad, I hate the fires and bricks stuff: it does nothing to help and just feeds the right wing propaganda machine.
