Somebody once mentioned that this false “grassroots” show is much more nearly like Astroturf, and it is. Over recent years, the term “Astroturf” has been co-opted by Nancy Pelosi, in her continuing disparagement of Republican political action.
But the swelling of the ranks of Trump supporters, much of which came from persons who were previously just about totally apolitical, or from disaffected Democrats who feel the party has left THEM, demonstrates most amply that “Astroturf” is not what is going on.
Soros has been putting “rent-a-mob” demonstrations out on the streets for several years now, and while this strategy works in some communities, it is much harder to muster and deliver these hired thugs to areas outside of urban settings.
The crowds that show up at Trump rallies are there because they are deeply enthusiastic and WANT to be there, and every gathering has huge numbers that cannot get inside the venue where it is held, but watch on huge TV screens set up in holding areas in anterooms and even outside the arena or auditorium.
The Donald does not disappoint.
The Bushes and Karl Rove pay protesters as well, to gain our sympathy. Ever notice how the so called “Iraq war protesters” always had masks on?
It’s so they could get paid on their next gig with autonomy.
It’s called Hegelian strategy of the Elites.
