Where do all these "protesters" come from

Did I say "mandate'? Besides 1 vote or a million a win is a win. The polls were as wrong as could be, 2.5 million Californians and .5 million NYers doesn't make the polls right. The polls also stated that Trump had no way to 270, yet there it is, 304.

 

Leftists are natural protestors. Most are without religion and seeking a cause. Being unemployed allows them great flexibility to appear anywhere at anytime. They're very angry; protesting is their relief valve. Smashing windows is a great stress reduction technique.

Right wingers usually have jobs, families, and life's responsibilities to weigh them down. If they have any free time (they usually have none), it's spent on a hobby such as golf and not making silly signs. They have no festering anger and no desire to burn police cars.

 

You forgot one, that they are indeed at their job, the professional whiners, bought and paid for by Soros and pals...

 

The retired vs the left wing millenials?

 

Depending on the era of entry, it was likely there was plenty of land that needed to be occupied in order for the nation to grow and prosper. In the later eras there was a need for labor to increase the nation's wealth and still continue westward advancement. One thing of note though, at that time being an illiterate farmer or unskilled tradesman didn't mean that one couldn't find success. In today's world, the illiterate non-English speakers are more hindrance than benefit. As far as I know nobody is opposed to immigration, they are in fact opposed to illegal aliens who are not beneficial, are not screened, and show nothing but contempt for US laws...

 

About a year ago there was a big thread here were libertarians were insisting that anarchist were on their side, brothers in ideology. Something to do with the fact that anarchists are probably the most anti-authoritarian group in America. So much so that they show up at protests primarily for the thrill of battling the police. However we can see how the right is pro-authority and pro-police. How dare those on the left protest. How dare black people complain about mistreatment by the police. Bring out the police and shut those people up. That is why conservatives are how they are. The conformity thing. You know the drill, sit down, shut up, and do what you are told.

It must be so disheartening for conservatives, seeing others not doing what they are told, actually thinking for themselves.

 

Here in Portland, on one of those right wing mis-information talk radio stations, they tried to get a Tea Party thing going - in part to prove that it wasn't a astro-turf affair. I think 6 people showed up. 8 if you count the talk radio host and her assistant.

 

And lets not forget all the 401c4's that the tea-party whined about that brought on the IRS investigations!!!!
Our GOP folks on this forum keep talking about Soros funding "all" these protests & paying people---I'm one of these protesters, can anyone tell me who Soros is,what he looks like, where are his offices set up,where do I go to put in an application to get paid for protesting? But,er, I don't need to get paid, democracy is worth the voluntary effort----

 

Do I have to keep pointing this out to you. It is science and technology that that drives the economy. Every place in America where that science and technology is coming from, where the innovation is happening is in areas of the country that are dominated by liberal politics. That is why conservatives so like Trump. A rich guy that they think, if they worship him enough, will get them a job. Unlike liberals like me. I got so tired of putting up with corporate managers, and making fat cats richer, that I created my own company - doing what I want to do, not what someone else wants me to do.

Yesterday I saw a piece about coal miners. Even though their fathers were dying of black lung and the market is drying up, they insisted that Trump was going to make sure had they mining jobs till the day they retire - or die of black lung.

 

Well Ronstar,just today Feb 22,2017---Add Native American's to the list of protesters as well as the transgender community,pretty soon it is going to be parents & teachers, lets see how the visit by Tillerman goes in Mexico,-----my goodness-is there anybody left for trump to p### off---

 

I doubt many of the unbathed window smashers run their own high-tech company.

 

No fault but your own that you are easily swayed by liberal propaganda.

 

Cultural-marxist revisionist history... the protest and marches of the counterculture radicals during the 60's and early 70's prolonged the Vietnam War. Even the commander of the NVA, Gen. Giap and the communist Vietnam government acknowledge that.

So stop making (*)(*)(*)(*) up.

 

Well, Hello again Hoosier---
Ah,I am a liberal,you got that part right--I agree with & do not have to be persuaded with the Democratic ideology--
I guess I could turn it around on you & say " No fault but your own that you are easily swayed by the trump propaganda"
So, there-everybody happy---

 

I was a liberal when I was younger but I grew up.

 

Well, Ok, sorry you got lost in your growing pains---

 

I can't ever remember a conservative shouting down a lefty speaker denying them their right to free speech, you have that confused with leftist fascist. Perfect example are the town hall meetings in conservative districts where the speakers are being shouted down.
If you'd actually think about it the police stand by while people protest, their right, it's when the protest turn violent and protesters begin to break and burn (*)(*)(*)(*) is when police become involved. By the way who is calling these anarchist and telling them what time and where to be? I thought all these protest were grassroots.

 

You seem to remember what you want to remember.

I remember just the opposite

 

Some people just never grow up.

 

Please share. Show me one town hall/college campus where a leftist speaker was shouted down by RW protesters and wasn't allowed to speak.

 

America.

 

The town halls sound like Pariament in England.

 

Your wonky memory may well be ideologically impaired.

 

When union members caused violence.
