The recent protests have drawn hundreds of participants but remain far smaller than other mass demonstrations, including the 2020 protests against police violence that spurred Newsom to request assistance from the National Guard.

    Propaganda will only get you so far. You need a radical insurgency you can count on.

      Well, andor kinda got that wrong.

      They just need one or two good clips of people being violent, that they can put on blast.

      Doesn’t need to be a recent clip, or an actual liberal insurrection or even happening in the US.’

        If I had a nickel for every time Fox News rolled that clip of the alleged gang members holding rifles in that apartment hallway I’m sure I could buy something quite nice for myself.

          I remember during the Floyd riots, my grandma from Missouri kept sending me clips of things.

          “Grandma, this is Minnesota. We don’t speak French.” Had to be said more than a few times.

          She still think’s Minneapolis is a war zone, even thought the last time she was here I took her for a drive through, showing how it’s not.
