VERY BIG APOLOGIES FOR POSTING SOMETHING FROM THE WASHINGTON COMPOST. Need refutation against this article's main assertion which is that the protests are genuinely being done by people upset at the Trump victory, not by paid protesters.

Any counter arguments with backup links are appreciated. (Was sent a link to this article by liberal relative with whom I have had an ongoing discussion about the paid protesters.)

I’d rather learn why the Washington Post wanted me to think Donald Trump was an illegitimate candidate for President.

Might have something to do with the Craig’s list ads offering pay for protests !

How does your liberal relative feel about the Oregon protesters who were arrested and it turns out none of them were registered or voted in the election?

There are good articles around here about the Craigslist ads that have been run seeking protesters. Do a search on “Craigslist.”

Honestly, I don’t give a damn if they are or aren’t because it doesn’t change anything. We won big and big changes are coming. If anything, this protesting just reinforces what we have been saying about the left all along.

Writer says most protesters voted against Trump.

Okay, they had their say in voting and democracy worked.

All they have to do is wait less than 4 years and they
can do it all over.

The Washington Post said the protests were not manufactured because they are bought off too. The Washington Post can say anything they want to. As for them, they can go pound sand.

The writer uses faulty logic.

He says that since the protests in New York City probably weren't paid, no protestors were paid at any time or place.

That doesn't work so well for Portland, for example...where many protestors were from out of area.

Protestors during the primaries were paid.

I have a news bulletin for the Washington Post:

Neither President Trump, nor his supporters, give two flying f*cks what anyone thinks about the protesters. They’re gearing up to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN and haven’t the time for such nonsense.

Watch what happens on January 21st.

More importantly, why does this WaPo writer want you to think these protests are organic?

Trump and his supporters KNOW they are meaningless.

In a tweet, Trump decided that the “professional protesters,” in his formulation, were also “incited by the media,” which doesn't make much sense

Yet another straw-man argument. The anti-Trump MSM create a negative meme about Trump, clueless skulls full of mush believe it and begin to riot. Then when the MSM are called out for their FUD-making they suggest that it's all tin-foil hat stuff by Trump and his supporters.

How many recovering New Yorkers have moved to NC or Florida and voted Trump?

My brother saw three buses of these A-holes from Oregon, when he was in the city the other day aka San Francisco...

The protests have been organized to undermine Trumps clear mandate.

If your family member is a liberal, you’re wasting your time sending them proof refuting this article.

Libs are immune to facts, logic, and reason. Its why they’re libs.

I stopped wasting my time arguing politics with liberal family members a long time ago. Its just not worth the grief. They know where I stand, and that I’m never going back to the plantation.
