Saturday’s People’s March in Washington DC drew smaller numbers than its predecessors.
Organisers had expected 50,000 people. About 5,000 turned up.
and here’s the entire problem right here expressed in 2 sentences with the entire liberal political movement.
the organizers are much more interested in optics than DOING THE FUCKING WORK TO GET LIBERALS IN OFFICE. these assholes right here are the ones that think just showing up is what matters. they think that not being objectively cruel just to be cruel is the only reason to vote for democrats.
you can take this protest and $2 and maybe you can get a drink at a fast food place for all the good it’s going to do the country the next 4 years. instead of marching, chanting, and holding signs the protest organizers would have been a whole lot fucking better off taking the time to organize a toothless white guilt relieving performance act and used it to organize and coordinate local aid societies that will be directly affected by the trump administration.
well when the major conservative media “news” outlet sells CONSTANT FEAR and FEAR THE BLACK AND BROWN AND GAY AND EVERYONE NOT CONSERVATIVE IS ANTIFA 25/8 and the other legitimate news outlets are deathly afraid for some reason of losing ratings to that propaganda outlet that they parrot the exact same thing but with tamer language (which also kinda de-legitimatizes them to be honest), you get that kind of thing.
also what doesn’t help, is the constant blowout coverage of mass shootings that the neworks do (which also strangely are committed by white male conservatives) which also fuels the narrative of rampant violent crime.
