I have found the No Kings protests pretty depressing. The left is so well organized and funded it is impossible to see anything but a future run by bluehairedfeckingidiots, (genuine term).
The thing is, the people at the top don't care about ICE shooting people in general. They see it as an opportunity to win power and are quite happy that ICE is willing to shoot people because they are going to use that in the future.
There is no real organized and effective opposition. This is the way power is transferred from one group to another. We think we are fighting about belief. They and fighting about power. The Old White Guy group is doing the same last gasp efforts as every other failing power group. No lessons have been learned from history.
Trump could have pulled off a reprieve but we all knew what we were getting. The wannabe right wing of this county doesn't have the balls to actually deport illegals, or remove ethnic groups that want game the system and impose their violent religious extremism, or just shut down the violent anarchists and socialists that claim to be anti fascists. Or even just dump the Eptstein files. Instead Trump gets himself in a war by listening to the intelligence agencies he previously called, "The Deep State," and manages to just fumble away the midterms and create a powerful opposition group.
Conservatives don't organize or create a network to build on the new Trump voters. No they ignore every opportunity for success. Then they downplay what is the incredible triumph of a handful of NGO's, college professors, and one old dude with a billion dollars and they say the No Kings Rally is just "paid protestors." No Kings is an absolutely incredible example of political organization. People will be studying this in mass communication class for years.
Just basic research shows that No Kings is not paid protestors nor is it an organic freedom and social justice movement. No, it is a project by established progressive organizations including, Indivisible, Project 50501, MoveOn provided the messaging, analytics, media and training resources.
Here is a link so you can read about it. (Obviously, if you are a progressive you will deny this research.)
It is a classic leftist coalition of “like minded,” people and organizations. Sort of a expanded version of the cell type organizing systems of the past. These people are very communication savvy and understand the internet and have years of advertising and propaganda experience. Plus allies in education and media.
When you are talking well funded organizations you have the ACLU, Democrat Socialists, American Federation of Teachers, MoveOn, the whole Democratic Party, and others.
Then it drops down to regional and local groups. The Rural Organizing Project is one that operated a lot in this area, you have formerly Christian Churches, College activist groups, and then seemingly endless supply of old people that remember Berkley and getting nailed by a longhair or banging a hippie chick in 1960, or just reading about it and taking old people meds.
There is no one head to the snake, it is just a group of like minded people whose new religion is Confirmation Bias, but they just call it Truth. Knock off Soros and five other less well know leftists will take his place. Or they will just step up the funding from Argentina or China or Iran.
Likewise there is no reason to pay protestors. The protestors essentially pay to play through their donations to the local fundraising groups or the church offering.
Those who are getting paid would be people who make it their career to be protest leaders or community organizers. Sure the signs look professional because they are professionally made. Do you think they are going to use crayon? This is no evidence. Don't diminish the opposition. It is a classic fail.
What is the Republican response? There does not seem to be any conservative millionaires funding similar projects in my neighborhood like has been done with leftists for the local county board of commissioners or school boards.
Self proclaimed conservative activists, Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson blame Israel. Trump makes jokes about paid protestors and says thanks for making me King. (It was funny last year)
There was a little hope with Charlie Kirk but he was offed by the sexual deviant community and there is no one else. (or mossad-which is probably the same thing) It all just fragmented into crazy conspiracy and self monetizing talking heads. There is no right wing in this country despite what the lunatic left says.
You would think that with the amount of time these conservative conspiracy nuts spend on the computer they could map out the progressive organizing strategy and learn from it. No Republican organizer that I know has read "Rules for Radicals," or looked at The Little Red book, or really got much beyond "George Soros is a real bastard," or those Democrats cheated in the election.
No, there is no widespread voter fraud, that is a fantasy to explain why we loose every election in Oregon. We don't vote, we don't have a system set up to groom local conservative candidates for local School Boards, County Commissioners, State Rep, and move them on up.
We don't have conservatives in the media skewing every story to a conservative point of view, we don't have chat rooms, private facebook groups, or weird online sex freaks to groom kids.
I need to go to work but I think my point boils down to this...
The group with the best propaganda advertising is going to win and they will come after the opposition. The left never forgets an enemy. We have 200 years worth of examples...
Unfortunately, there is no actual "right wing" in this country.
I must NOT listen to Lars Larsen this afternoon. I may break my earbuds...
