    “You’re seeing people out there with thousands of signs that all match, pre-bought, pre-put together. They are organized, and someone is funding it.”

    As always they make accusations to mask the truth of the accusation on their own side. The No Kings people aren’t the ones with giant professionally printed custom flags and actual corporations creating the merch they wear to their events. Crazy

      Exactly. The Repugnicans fully funded the Ottawa blockade (known as the freedumb kkklownvoy) in Canada.

      Sure, its all hypocrisy. But then it’s “Heads I Win / Tails You Lose” with these media hacks. Either your protest is polished and professional and looks white on camera (paid protestors!) or its organic and muddled and has too many brown people in attendance (violent mobs! ugly poor people!)

      There’s never going to be an opposition movement that a dictator is going to approve of, unless it’s a fully controlled opposition.

      What’s more illustrative than GOP officials complaining that the people who don’t like them aren’t legitimate is the raft of national media institutions that mindlessly regurgitate partisan propaganda.
