If you feel so threatened by a little girl attending protests, you must be terrified by a convicted felon wannabe fascist dictator president who has people arrested and deported without due process, and pardons insurrectionist terrorists.

Also doing everything he can to try turn the US into a banana republic and accelerate China's rise.

It's getting kind of creepy that you keep referring to a 22-year-old woman as a "little girl."  She is as much an adult as anyone else who's over the age of 18.  Why do you call her a "little girl?"

 

Slowly now for the second time, so you understand.  No one is afraid of Greta Thunberg as a person.  She seems to have tired with climate-change activism and has begun expressing antisemitism, which is disturbing to many people.  It's her beliefs about Jews that are wrong as they normalize antisemitism.  It's absurd to compare opposition to Thunberg to opposition to Trump.

Here she is, pretending she's been handcuffed.

'people feeling threatened by her' comments.

 

I most certainly do not; it just amazes & astonishes me how anyone can take her seriously.

Wow That's shocking she did that, for the cameras. 

Naughty little Goblin.

I doubt that she actually cares about Israel or the fictional country of Palestine.

 

She is just another performance artist that gets paid to protest the "cause du jure".
