The Left Staged a Paid Astroturf Fake "Grassroots" Protest This Weekend, and It Was As Successful as Everything Else the Left Does Now

The left staged a very confused protest over the weekend. Called the #HandsOff protest, the paid lefty agitators pushed for every rejected far-left policy, from transgendering kids to paying 160-year-olds millions in Social Security payments.

The rent-a-mob was paid up to $1000 by a leftwing front group called "Indivisible."

This woman was a paid protester at a Hands Off Protest. She details what she had to do to get paid.
They told her not to wear anything MAGA and she could not wear red. So she wore a black shirt and jeans. They also told her she would get paid if she brought a sign. Again, nothing MAGA. So she brought a "everyone deserves an education sign."
They told her she had to march around. At the end, in order to get paid, she had to answer a 8 question questionnaire. She said the questions did have right and wrong answers and if you wanted to get paid, you had to answer them correctly from a liberal mindset.
Share this everywhere as I keep seeing people say that no one was paid. They were definitely paid.

One of the attorneys involved in locking up J6ers just happens to be married to a woman who's on the board of "Indivisible."

The "Mass uprising" was demonstrably all more paid-for astroturf. This protest organizer wore a laminated card around her neck instructing her how to conduct the Totally Organic Uprising.

The Male Band Geek calling himself "Sarah" McBride demanded "Hands off woman's rights" as he invaded women's bathrooms. And also, as he creepily read straight-up transgender propaganda to kindergarteners. Hands off our kids, groomer.

Another transgender demanded "hands off" as he continued invading women's spaces.

Many attendees of the Paid Protest complained that "young people" weren't showing up.

@charliekirk11
Gen Z is not participating with the astro-turfed, bought and paid for "Hands Off!" protests because they know it's a scam.
They were told college was the only way to succeed. LIE
They were told they'd never own a home and like it. LIE
Young men were told they were toxic. LIE
Young women were told to be childless boss babes to be happy. LIE
They are part of a generation that has been demonized by older generations that sold them out, belittled them, and borrowed off their backs. Their parents and grandparents inherited a rich, powerful America only to hand them a weakened, debt-riddled country, divided over gender, race, class and every other abstraction invented in a university they graduated from with no debt but now costs $75,000 a year plus interest. They were told to downsize the American Dream or abandon it altogether.
Wave after new wave of young people are rejecting the lies of the Boomer left. They're choosing a rebirth of freedom and opportunity. I see it with my own eyes every week on college campuses across America. The kids are waking up.

Here's another protester complaining that the youths are abandoning them. She says she's "literally crying" that it's "mostly seniors or handicapped..." and not the hot young bangable people she was hoping to see.

A kaffiyeh-wearing white woman similarly complains that there's too many "seniors" and no "youth turnout."

You can see these protesters are mostly old hippies.

Jamie Raskin said "Hands off our science" while continuing to support forced vaccinations.

It was strange seeing Eric Swallwell at a "Hands Off" protest. Usually he attends the Chinese Spy Butt-Play protests.

A MAGA woman protested the protests and had her sign stolen by some thugs. Here's what the people saying "Hands Off Women's Rights" did when she took the stage to demand her sign back: they sent out a hulkingly obese man to slap the shit out of her:

It's a little unfair to blame the Boomers. Or the leftists. I agree.

This goes back at least as far as the self-proclaimed Greatest Generation and Lost Generations were in power. And it's been more about a systemic robbing of the American treasury combined with massive corruption and hubris about flexing power around the world.

That said, the Boomers were / are especially obnoxious in their indignation, cluelessness, and "I got mine so fuck you" attitude so they catch a lot of blame.

But I doubt Gen X will be any better in execution than the Boomers were.

81 I try not to make comments negatively about peoples' looks ( since I'm not model material) but since people are being paid to do this, I think the very large woman with the sign needs to keep her hands off carbs. Somebody probably already made this joke. Oh, yes, can this people keep their hands off children and not give them "transgender" hormones and cut off their breasts and penises?!!!

Well is was "partially" topless.

Strippers in public are usually missing the top half of their shirts - exposing their decolletage.

AWFLS are missing the bottom half of their shirts - exposing their muffin tops.

Both think they are showing off their best features.

Only the "college educated" ones are wrong.

I eavesdropped on their conversations, most of which were sad, futile self-reassurances that it wasn't only old worn-ut ex-hippis there. Peple milld around the party saying, "there were young kids there--right? Yeah, I think. Plenty of kids. Right?" To which the reply would be, "Yeah, the kid are rising up. I saw lot of youngsters there." Etc.

And then I watched t TV news coverage of the protest--95% gray-haired Kool-Aid drinking washed up senior citizen ex-hippies, some of whom were pushing the grandchildren in baby carriages. The other 5% were Trantifa lunatics with purple hair, kils and sequinned Converse sneakers.

I actually don't thinkl any of these people were paid to be there, as the SF Bay area has plemnty of cult members to fiull the ranks. But yeah, it was absolutely pathetic, the lamest protest in many years,
