Not My President are Professional Protesters funded by George Soros

Okay... So what??? Seriously. Even if not every single person in these protests is there spontaneously, the massive rising up against Trump and what he stands for is real. Much to the chagrin of the right, these are authentic protests against Trump, the loser of the 2016 Presidential Vote.

But, right-wingers can not look outside their blinkered worldview and instead see these protests as a copy of the gamplan they employed starting in 2010.

Back when the Tea Party was founded by the Koch Brothers, organized and touted by Faux News, then run by Glenn Beck, Andrew Breitbart, and other right-wing agitators, promoted by fake Tom Paine, and bussed around the country for free, the right encouraged and engaged in organized professional protest for years. Unless you believe that people had powdered wigs and tricone hats laying around before they decided to play dress up and descend on various locations in Koch Brothers funded transportation.

In 2010, the Koch Brothers Tea Party members swarmed town halls with prepared scripts and pre-made plans of action to take over and shout down any Republican who refused to get on board the total obstruction all the time plan of action.

It's also unironically funny that a group which takes it's name after a mythogolized incident of private property destruction would now bemoan the loss of respect for the sanctity of private property.

But, again even if the Not My President protests are totally funded so what? The Supreme Court has ruled several times, First National Bank of Boston v. Belloti (1978) and the infamous Citizens United (2010) for instance, that Money is Free Speech. So, being paid to speak is constitutional.

And it's not as though there are dozens of plants and factories lying fallow because the workers are off galavanting against America. Under the neoliberal economic policies ushered in by the Republicans and business-friendly Democrats, the US abandoned manufacturing decades ago for the service and financial economy.

Of course, as the protests continue right-wingers are getting more and more agitated and irritated. The III Inch Dicks, the Oathbreakers, and the Unconstitutional Sheriffs of America are all yearning to murder liberals. There is a deep longing in the bowels of right-wingers to go on murderous killing sprees.
"Bring it on. Because I know who’s on our side. They can only win a rhetorical and propaganda war. They cannot win. We outnumber them in this country, and we have the guns. (laughter) I’m not kidding." - Andrew Breitbart
Kellyanne Conway, Rudy Ghouliani, and other Trump team members are trying to avert a crisis as they understand their rabidly violent bigoted supporters are just waiting for the okay from Trump to begin killing. Thus, they demand President Obama and HRC put down these protests. Not because they care about the rule of law and order or justice, as evidenced by the absolute silence on the violence and harassment by Trump Bundists against minorities, but because they don't want to pay the political price for violently arresting or killing large numbers of Americans exercising free speech.

Team Trump wants President Obama do the dirty work of quelling free speech and violently putting down the protests. They want him to have that stigma attached. Because Trump's team knows the right-wing anger they tapped into and partially unleashed is coiled and waiting to fully explode.

Trump was awarded the Ultimate Participation Trophy


Second Highest Vote Total  
Look, we must never stop repeating HRC received more votes. Never concede the point. Never let them say Trump won the election. Trump received the second highest vote total and was awarded the Presidency. He got the ultimate participation trophy even though he lost the vote.

But, unlike in 2000 when Al Gore won both the Popular Vote and the Electoral Vote and the Republicans outright stole his victory, Trump can claim to have won the Electoral College.

Conservatives are slowly seething as Americans have rallied for the past 4 days to protest Trump's so-called Election Victory. Conservatives are also sensitive about him losing the popluar vote. That's why you see the county by county map showing huge swaths of Trump red throughout the South and West and small concentrations of Hillary blue in select spots. Of course, those blue spots are were Americans actually live; New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, Phoenix and not wide open counties where a few hundred rabid right-wingers who play with sheep all day reside. It's also why conservatives are spreading the lie that Trump did better with Latinos than Romney, when Trump didn't. They need to justify this election and lies are the natural recourse of conservatives.

Because conservatives know they've put one over on America again with the byzantine legerdemain of 18th century oligarchical political machinations. So, they want the protests to stop and liberals to lay down just like they did back in 2000.

Don't.

Keep pointing out the electoral college awarded Trump the Presidency against the will of the people. Keep on with the protests but, understand that's just a start and moving forward after the deplorables shamble into the White House we need to organize.

Trump is totally unprepared for the task ahead of him. He's going to do to the United States what he's done to women and casinos throughout his life; assault and bankrupt us.

Already Trump has backpedaled on several of his core campaign promises. Trump promised to exile all muslims, Trump promised to repeal every line of Obamacare, Trump declared he would rip up that horrible, terrible Iran Deal, Trump and his surrogates already hedged and declared there won't be an actual wall along the US-Mexico border. He's not going to do anything he promised. But, these broken promises won't be enough to break the hold the Republican Party has on the WWC.

The WWC began flocking to the Republicans in 1968 with Nixon's Law & Order, were solidly right-wing under Ronnie Raygun's Cadillac drivin' welfare moms and steak eatin' young bucks, and abandoned the Democratic Party after 8 years of President Barack HUSSEIN Obama and the incessant right-wing race baiting, including Trump's 5 years of Birtherism.

The Democratic Party if it wishes to stay relevant needs to let Trump inflict this pain and not immolate themselves to save the Republicans or the WWC. The WWC needs to face the consequences of their actions and not be bailed out by liberals again.

This is not a heighten the contradictions declaration but, a fuck'em they voted for granny starvin' zombie-eyed Paul Ryan CouponCare. The WWC voted for the elimination of SSI. So let them get what they deserve. The WWC voted for lower wages and less benefits, let them have it.

But, additionally Blue States need to use financial weapons on the WWC. For decades now, rich liberal cities have been funding the bad choices of Republican States with our tax dollars, as the Republican moocher states receive far more federal tax dollars from the government than they pay in federal taxes. So, propose amendments which decree that a state can only receive as much federal funding as it pays in federal taxes. Call it the 1 tax dollar in, 1 tax dollar out Plan or Truth in Federal Funding Initative.

The Moocher Republican States need to suffer consequences for their bad decisions. Starting with Trump and the Republican Party it's time to inherit the wind WWC.

Put Down the Not My President Protesters

It was heartening to see the spontaneous resistance spring up from Americans across the Nation against the election of Donald Trump. Never forget Trump lost the popular vote but won the election.

But, a message to all the protesters; Never forget that while right-wing domestic terrorism and violence is coddled and encouraged in this country (See the Two Bundy Insurrections and the repeated threats of assassination during all Trump rallies) agitation perceived to be coming from the left is never, ever tolerated. It won't be long before Faux News and conservatives begin calling on their allies in the FBI to put you down violently.

Sure enough beloved Right-Wing Sheriff David Clarke of Milwaukee County, who just last month was encouraging conservatives to take to the streets with torches and pitchforks if Trump lost, is declaring these protests must be "quelled".

Expect more, louder, and increasingly angry calls from conservatives for the use of Violence by the State against the protesters.
