Do groups of a few hundred Magats really deserve a platform?

(6,285 posts)They had a float and a car with sound pulling it.. they were going to Wisconsin? (don't ask I don't know either). As they pulled out there were 5 cars filled with people. Only 5 cars .. there were maybe 10 people standing watching .. some with signs. I guess people just need something to do.

(82,849 posts)I remember millions of us turning out against the invasion of Iraq. But we were just a "focus group" according to the Bush administration and that was faithfully parroted by a media that was slavering for war. Then it turned out that we were right all along, and the collective media shrug registered at earthquake monitoring centers.
These knuckleheaded miscreants are accorded respect and credence by a cowed media skeered of a mean tweet from Needy Amin.
A million person protest in NY got 2 minutes on the evening News.

(1,648 posts)Infiltrate their republican echo chamber sites and say that there is direct evidence that the Deep State is contaminating their protesters with COVID-19 and let their echo chamber run with it.
1) They will avoid protesting.
2) They will go even more nuts and make all others not want to have anything similar with them and they will keep circulating lies that most people wouldn't buy, especially when they RUN the Deep State.
