Cardboard Cut-Outs

1. Your post was much more thoughtful and eloquent than my quick copy and paste. I'm glad. Thanks.

I have no qualms about believing in protest plants.

I've watched this sort of operation since the late 1960's.

While most protests begin in earnest and with the best of intentions, many times the opposition and even our own government has planted troublemakers into crowds to create problems, fights, violence and even looting to make the original protest look bad and turn public opinion against them.

I'm happy for the awakened participation of so many in this election.
I'm sad that some of the same old tactics keep reappearing every time it happens.
And, yes, I agree similar tactics will continue and increase this election year.

Once your eyes are opened to the ways we are all manipulated by the powers that be, it's hard to pretend not to see again.

Good post.

ps
Sometime we'll compare our lists of supposed conspiracy theories H2O Man; I'll bet they're fairly similar.
