|    Pink-Haired Protestor Says the Quiet Par    |

      XPost: alt.society.anarchy, alt.politics.republicans, alt.fan.rush-limbaugh       XPost: talk.politics.guns, sac.politics       From: leroysoetoro@americans-first.com              https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/10/18/pink-haired-protestor-says-t       he-quiet-part-out-loud-about-no-kings-n4945016              The left's "No Kings" protests that took place Saturday aren't the       grassroots movements they pretend to be. They're slick, coordinated       productions, complete with sponsors, training, and a lot of people with       nothing better to do on a weekend.              I’ve been to real protests—small groups holding signs, big crowds that       showed up because they cared, with no one handing out instruction       manuals or cutting checks. That was activism. What we're seeing now from       the radical left is something else entirely: astroturfing on an       industrial scale.              During a live Newsmax broadcast from the National Mall, correspondent       Alana Austin found herself face to face with exactly the kind of       protester too stupid to realize they’ve said too much. The woman,       sporting pink hair and clutching signs with Antifa imagery, identified       herself as an "anti-fascist" but swore she wasn't formally part of       "Antifa." Sure.              What came next was the real kicker. When Austin asked about the       protest's peaceful vibe, the woman didn't hesitate. "We've all been told       to be peaceful," she explained matter-of-factly. "We've had training on       how to be peaceful and to deescalate."              Training.              As in organized, structured instruction on how to behave at a protest.              Austin didn't get the chance to follow up on who exactly provided this       training or which organization bankrolled it, but the admission alone       punctures the myth that these movements are leaderless and organic. When       the protester was asked to show her Antifa-marked sign more clearly, she       refused. Funny how that works.              Organizers included members of the Democratic Socialists of America and       an assortment of other left-wing activist groups. And that’s what really       gets me about it—the structured coordination lurking beneath it. The       protester's casual mention of training contradicts activists' favorite       talking points that the people are “rising up” against Trump. If you’re       being paid and trained to be a protester, you’re not a protester, you’re       a contractor.              That said, the good thing about this is that they were trained to be       peaceful. It’s a pleasant change from the rioting, violence, and       destruction that we’ve grown used to from anything associated with       Antifa. I guess some highly-paid PR consultant told them that violence       is a bad look, and they must have gotten the message.              Nevertheless, the Trump administration and the Justice Department       continue treating Antifa as a domestic terror organization, and federal       authorities have vowed to investigate protest networks tied to violence       against police or property. As they should.              Newsmax has more:              Generally, daytime activist demonstrations in Democrat-run cities       throughout America have been peaceful, but later at night, antifa       reporter Andy Ngo has told Newsmax, the violent activists act out       against him and law enforcement.              Ngo has been beaten to near death by antifa protesters, he told Trump at       a White House roundtable.              While left-leaning media and antifa protesters are decrying Trump's       consideration of invoking the Insurrection Act to defend America and       keep citizens safe, Vice President JD Vance called it a deflection from       the harsh realities on the ground.              "The problem is not the Insurrection Act," Vance told NBC News' "Meet       the Press" last Sunday. "The problem is that the entire media in this       country, cheered on by a few far-left lunatics, have made it OK to tee       off on American law enforcement."              Vance told NBC's Kristen Welker that Trump is "looking at all of the       options," including the Insurrection Act of 1807, as violent attacks       against immigration enforcement officers rise.              The “No Kings” protests aren’t organic uprisings—they’re well-funded,       stage-managed productions, complete with directors, scripts, and       professional agitators playing their parts. This isn’t grassroots       outrage; it’s political theater designed to look organic while serving       the interests of Democrat power brokers. Real protests don’t need       instruction manuals, training, and a payroll. Manufactured ones always       do.                     --       November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look       forward to America being great again.              We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that       stupid people won't be offended.              Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.              Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024       Obama / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.              Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the       The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood       queer liberal democrat donors.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
