I wonder who is paying these folks to attend rallies? I hope one of them is stupid enough to sue Chad Loder.

You KNOW they always project. Whatever Republicans accuse others of doing you can take it to the bank that the Republicans themselves are guilty of it. They want to distract from their own guilt and besides, they figure everyone is as deceptive, slithery and evil as they are. Pfft.

EDIT: this same guy has a thread on how Kochs et al are funding PAID ACTORS to also protest CRT at school boards across the country. Same shit, different issue.

that is ripping this country apart. And they're doing it just to make more money, wish there was a way to charge
them as traitors or terrorists but I have no idea what laws they have broken other than moral ones.

overwhelming stats showing rapidly increasing death rates from Covid infections/illnesses, there's not really much anyone can say with these idiots' ongoing support of their anti-vaccination stances, especially when so many former anti-Covid vaccine crusaders are dying right and left. I'd say just let them rant and rave, and kill themselves, the only thing being that unfortunately, innocent people will get hurt (but if these people are so innocent, why then, are they listening to such nonsense instead of the responsible thing, to examine and hear all evidence?).

Why doesn’t any reporter or news organization follow the money to find who the master puppeteers are?

The PAID ACTOR participants at these rallies are already vaccinated. They are doing it for the money, not the conviction. They probably rationalize it as any means of support in these lean times for actors. We should keep a list of wall of shame for these for the future. They may be surviving, but they are traitors urging their fellow Americans to possibly spread disease further or die for them.

I wish I could recall who wrote it but it's basically that what individuals may do as personal expression corporations cannot organize groups of people to do especially if it is done this way.

The Brooks Brothers Riot of 2000 was a RICO violation in that the purpose was to falsify and present the image of a spontaneous public reaction to the entirely legal recount of the election in FLA. The people who were shown on tv and in the press doing this were paid staff of the GOP election machine. The MSM were told that they claimed to be voters from Florida who were angry that the recount was occurring in some alleged violation of their rights as Republican voters. This was political theater to push the lie of the election, to provide a pretext to the SCOTUS to halt the recount, and ultimately keep the election from being examined elsewhere (like Ohio).

The Koch organization, among other GOP/RW agents have long practiced this kind of political deception. I suspect that the ACLU, SPLC, and other similar groups have a better, more concise explanation of the practices they engage in along with more precise legal points about this.
