“Power was not challenged in any meaningful way. The status quo wasn\u2019t disrupted in the slightest. People held up some signs saying the president is orange and that if Kamala were president they would be at brunch, and then went home.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

For real, Ms. J. I almost feel personally insulted<\/strong> every time these flyers<\/a> hit the streets in my neighborhood for their goddamn fake-ass astroturf “movement” which seems to roll into town at least once per quarter, as if trying to make a fundraising goal. My first thought was “Christ, weren’t these assholes just in town this summer?”<\/em> \u2013 and we’ve got a whole fresh load of astroturf<\/a> being rolled out next week<\/a>, and we haven’t even had a chance to wash the stink off the Mall from the last “No Kings” flag-kissing festival.<\/p>\n

Hell, there’s a whole freakin’ raft of these phony-ass outfits that have suddenly sprung up like mushrooms after a summer downpour bouncing around now, and they’re all fronting for the DNC \u2013 No Kings<\/a>, FiftyFiftyOne<\/a>, local clowns like the Free DC Project<\/a> \u2013 and obstructing real revolutionary change.<\/p>\n

LOOK THE HELL OUT for these time wasters.<\/p>\n
