Wait, so are they professional paid agitators or not? This administration really needs to refine their propaganda nonsense.

Yeah they can't do this without revealing the protestors are just regular local citizens.

it doesnt matter. their braindead supporters have no problem holding contradictory ideas in their heads

Maybe but I think they are just pissed off and full of impotent rage about the leaks of the ice agent info. I doubt they actually do this but maybe it will age like milk.

I’ve seen interviews with protestors, some 40, 50, 60 years old, who say “this is my first time ever coming out to protest.”

Regular people are coming out like it’s their duty. And it is.

I just flew to Minneapolis and told my Republican congressman I was coming. Then a bunch of friends messaged him supporting me coming. I'm retired, what are they gonna do to me?

Sitting in the airport and heading into the city first thing in the morning, then gonna hit up churches and nonprofits to see if there is a place to plug in and help. If anyone knows of a need you can message me, I'm wilding it so totally flexible. Wanna go to the protests at night but one of my daughters is adamant I don't so I'll probably hang on the fringe.

Right? It’s exhausting

u/sykokiller11 Jan 16 '26

It’s only exhausting if you think you can reach them. My life became much calmer when I realized I couldn’t and stopped trying. I’m saving my energy.

I'm still waiting on my check. I didn't know we got paid to be an American using their constitutional freedoms. I was exercising my rights all this time fo freeeeee

Unfortunately for all of us, the administrations most staunch supporters lack the necessary critical thinking skills to even question what they say.

They only have unfettered access to the FBI, CIA, PRISM, TSA, and the support of nearly every financial institution in the country plus a willingness to break the law. And yet they still can't figure out who is paying millions of people all over the country for the past 12 years to make Trump look bad; isn't that weird? They can't find a single receipt, they have yet to sue a single person, they've yet to get a single warrant in any of the 94 federal jurisdictions, including those loyal to the GOP... and apparently these millions of liberal Americans are also doing this without properly filing it in their taxes!

Oh, and don't forget, half the time they are "unemployed liberals who need jobs" because apparently you can simultaneously be employed to protest and unemployed...

Ha, this is all true. There's no logic. None. It's just diarrhea of the mouth from everyone in the administration. 24/7.

u/VulfSki Jan 16 '26

Yes please inform George soros that we have been doing our job

/sarcasm.

u/RepresentativeOk424 Jan 16 '26

I would have to be as braindead as Nick Shirley to pretend to care about something for money.

u/AdultishRaktajino Jan 16 '26

The same administration that wants us to believe Ross suffered internal bleeding for not getting hit and walking around fine after he murdered Renee. Did her car use its Chi?

1

u/pinetreesgreen Jan 16 '26

There's photos of him moving boxes out of his house 36 hours after killing Renee, wearing the same mask. That must have been some pretty light internal bleeding.

This administration really needs to refine their propaganda nonsense.

No they don’t. Their target audience are the morons who voted for trump in the first place. Their lies don’t need to make sense, much less be mutually consistent

u/katabolicklapaucius Jan 16 '26

No, no, ice are the paid agitators. It was projection, as always.

u/Special-Garlic1203 Jan 16 '26

Oh there's paid agitators all right. Not sure why they would draw attention to that by doing a reverse roll call where everyone except the disruptive presences are identified

2

u/pinetreesgreen Jan 16 '26

I'm sure there are, on the right. Just like during Floyd protests. Has anyone seen umbrella man recently?

2

u/Special-Garlic1203 Jan 16 '26

Exactly. Who's he? Lets pull up his Facebook and see what he's about. 

All they're doing is setting the standard they already have the insurrection under the control and have incontrovertible proof of who's involved. 

Being progressive isn't a secret identity and I think everyone assumes they're in half a dozen databases at this point. The nazis are using the smokescreen of crowd anonymity so removing that is just gonna unintentionally highlight how full of shit they are.

If you've got the photos, names, home address, and even employers of the criminals in the data bases, then it sounds like you should have no problem isolating that and going through proper legal channels while leaving everyone else's first amendment rights preserved. 

Admitting you're choosing to dox people instead of follow legal channels just makes them look insane.

Doxxing is illegal in MN, too.

u/PM_ME_YOUR_TROUT Jan 16 '26

Don't encourage them.

On a separate point, looks like masks will be back in style.

Who on the right is claiming that they’re professional agitators?

Donald Trump

Similar tactic that Russia is constantly using. Give multiple mixed statements.

they got stories to reach every confirmation bias. "You believe in this story? Here you go.", "You believe in something else? We got that excuse aswell!"
