Of course it’s staged.
I personally know the founders of Indivisible. I grew up with one of them.
He has always been a very passionate, very politically progressive person. They started Indivisible after going viral in their early efforts to fight Trump’s political efforts.
If you’re Republican or Democrat, and you have money you want to put towards spreading your politics, you donate to passionate people like this. That doesn’t make what they do staged, it just means you aren’t giving your money to the punks who throw paint on Teslas or the gravy seal who wants to buy more MAGA flair for their truck.
My issue with these protests is that they always bring in something about “restoring democracy” while protesting a democratically elected president that about half of the country supports. Part of living in a democracy is that sometimes your guy doesn’t win and you have to deal with that until the next election. The protests, (at least in my town) often look like a group of unorganized people with barely legible signs complaining about random stuff. I promise all of these people Elon Musk does not care that you are wasting your time doing this. The protesters themselves say, “it’s better than doing nothing” but is it though? They’re basically doing nothing in the big picture.
the organization of the protests is not organic. the turnout was organic. most protests on either side are bankrolled
Continued protests are bankrolled and very effective in making a population feel a certain way. In this case trying to get most people to think that a person/idea/notion/et is less popular overall, or to wear them down with a constant barrage of disinformation. This has been used by governments (including ours in the US) for a very long time while trying to overthrow or destabilize other countries. It’s pretty basic marketing and advertising.
PT Barnum called it well over 100 years ago: “No man ever went broke overestimating the ignorance of the American public.”
All major protests are staged.
All staged
God forbid someone has to organize the organized protests. You all be reaching these days.
