Whatever happened to kind, accepting, tolerance, freedom of speech and expression, live and let live and the other  core values of being a  liberal.

 

Why are liberal and hypocrite synonyms?

Can you answer that question?

First of all I'm not a liberal.

 

Secondly, look at your own posts, ridiculing and insulting everyone that doesn't agree with your opinion.

“Not a liberal”  

 

I stand corrected.  Leftist is more appropriate 

 

“Secondly, look at your own posts, ridiculing and insulting everyone that doesn't agree with your opinion.”

I learned it all  from the leftists on the forum by observing them.

 

”Did this answer your question about free speech?”

No.  Not even close.

 

You never addressed the synonyms I mentioned.

Why?

That may have gone some way to explaining the lack of enthusiasm as they shuffled past the reviewing stand, out of step and wearing unpressed combats!

Or it may have been because they do not respect trump as their "commander-in-chief", especially after he called fallen comrades from the past, "suckers and losers" and also denigrated the war hero John McCain, when he himself dodged the draft with the help of his father and a few influential friends due to "bone spurs".

 

This was their way of showing their disrespect for this orange clown.

Hmm... let's compare how many people show up at one event, compared to how many people show up at 2000 events scattered across the USA... Yeah, that sounds like a real comparison.

 

One was celebrating the US Amy, the other groups are fighting a non-existent thing. 

 

I dont understand how stupid people can be to think that Trump is even close to being a King.  Apparently none of them know exactly what a King is, Trump isn't a king (constantly fighting the courts)  and cant ever be a king, the US is not a kingdom and it's cant be changed into one.  

 

 

 

 

Based on your comment you should clearly understand stupid. 

 

The comparison isnt too hard to grasp. You have a buffoon that wants to be considered all powerful without question like a king or one of his idols, xi , putin or Kim but isn't smart enough to do it.

 

The military didn't even fully back his parade because it was just his way to try to show he's important and loved. Obviously far from it..

 

The counter protest were just that, counter to his ignorance and arrogance and showed how much his support has diminished. And what an idiotic person he really is .

Take a look at the crowds outside of Buckingham Palace on any given day and add up how many are tourists. Take a look at how even Trump is enamored by the Royal Family and how it affects his attitude toward Great Britain. Multiply that millions of times.

 

The contribution to charitable causes is well documented. No point to go over them again.

 

One point of order,  I’m not British. Singapore is my home country, which means that I can look at both sides of a ledger and appreciate the financial benefits of soft power and branding.

1.  You haven’t explained how the Royals generate the enormous amounts of revenue compared to their taxpayers.

 

You only proved my point.  Pomp, that the crowd enjoys seeing.

 

2.  Donations are outgoing, not incoming.

 

3.  Singapore.  Cool.  Ruled by British during the days of “The sun never sets on the British Empire “.  
Until they surrendered to the Japanese.  
 

I had high hopes for you but failed to explain my original requests.  To be fair, you didn’t start this trend.

You must not be aware that the military parade was only in one location. It is stupid to compare it to protests that were held in multiple locations.

 

It is also stupid to compare an event that does not pay for attendance to the protests that have paid performance artists in attendance.

 LOL, who has you believing the "No Kings" protests, the past anti-Trump protests and the on going protests are being attended by people paid to be there? You do understand that just because Trump says it's true doesn't make it true? Yea?

 

Let's see what a few AI engines have to say about this fake news / conspiracy theory BS.

 

Conclusion:

While the theory of "paid protesters" persists among some, especially in certain political circles, it is largely considered a baseless conspiracy theory. The claims have consistently lacked verifiable evidence, and much of the "proof" offered has been debunked as hoaxes or misinterpretations. The widespread participation in anti-Trump protests is generally understood to be a genuine expression of public discontent.

 

 

Counterarguments and Lack of Evidence:

 

No Concrete Proof: Despite repeated assertions, there has been no credible evidence presented to substantiate the claim that anti-Trump protesters are being paid on a widespread basis.

 

Organic Public Outrage: Critics of the theory argue that it demeans the legitimate concerns of thousands, if not millions, of Americans who are genuinely upset about Trump's policies and actions. The scale of the protests suggests an organic public response rather than a centrally funded operation.

 

Political Motivation: The "paid protester" narrative is often seen as a tactic to delegitimize dissent and distract from the actual issues driving the protests. It suggests that opposition to Trump is not authentic but rather a result of corrupt schemes.

 

Historical Parallel: Historians note that the "paid protester" excuse has been a reliable argument used by various political figures, including segregationists, to dismiss opposition movements throughout history.

 

Organizing Groups: The "No Kings" protests, for example, have been openly organized by a broad coalition of established progressive groups, civil rights organizations, labor unions, and grassroots movements, including Indivisible, Women's March, MoveOn, ACLU, and many others. These organizations typically rely on volunteers and donations from their supporters, not "paid protesters."

 

Arguments and "Evidence" Presented:

 

           General Accusations: Trump frequently makes these claims without providing specific evidence, attributing the protests to unnamed, nefarious entities "financing" them.

 

• Craigslist Ads: A common piece of "evidence" cited is screenshots of Craigslist ads purportedly offering thousands of dollars a week for individuals to participate in protests. However, these ads have been widely debunked as pranks posted by podcasters and had no connection to any protest organizations.
   
  "Professionalized" Equipment: Some proponents of this theory, including White House press secretaries, have claimed that imagery from protests shows "boxes and boxes of very professionalized masks and rioting equipment being dropped off," suggesting a coordinated, funded effort.
   
   

 

Most Trump supporters have been duped by these conspiracy theories and as a result elected a President who does not have their best interests at heart.

Trump was paying $1000 a head for ”space fillers” to sit and watch his dumb birthday parade and he still couldn't fill the stands. There's a craigslist ad to prove it.

 

I doubt this is true, he's too much a tight wad and ego maniac to think he'd need to pay people to fill spaces.

 

The same goes for people claiming that the No Kings protests were "financed" and paid by some unnamed financier.

 

It's all conspiracy theory BS.

 

The fact remains.

 

Trumps parade was a flop, lackluster and dull.

 

The no kings protests were well attended and the streets were flooded with people opposing the clown circus going on in Washington put on by Trump and his sycophantic suck ups.

Your response was just AI rubbish and had no actual facts. 

 

For instance it didn't mention any of the companies that actually provide crowds for a fee. Here's one example:

 

Crowds on Demand is an American publicity firm that provides clients with hired actors to pose as fans, paparazzi, security guards, unpaid protesters and professional paid protesters.^[1][2][3] The company operates in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas,^[4] New York City,^[1] Washington, D.C.,^[5] Iowa, and New Hampshire.^[6] The firm was founded in October 2012 by Adam Swart.^[4]

What are you on about? What are you talking about? What does the existence of a publicity firm the "provides crowds" OTHERWISE KNOWN AS ACTING EXTRAS used for movie productions have anything to do with this conspiracy theory BS going around.

 

Existence of an company that provides extras for movies is NOT EVIDENCE, do you really need this explained to you?

 

Provide some real evidence if you can.

 

AI rubbish? It is a shame how some people just get so attached with things that THEY WANT TO BELIEVE, that the ignore the truth and facts. You have no idea how AI works and just pass it off as "rubbish". 

 

It is a sad state to think the world is awash with grand conspiracies. But, there are many people who want to be VICTIMS and believe all the right-wing propaganda that is actually NOT SERVING THEIR INTERESTS AT ALL.

 

By the way, 5 MILLION people attended the No Kings Protests. Tell me, how much they were all paid? And from where. Who verified that they actually attended? How was it verified that they actually attended? How were they paid? How much were they paid? What was the budget.

 

Provide some evidence. You can't.
