That's pretty standard right-wing propaganda against the protests, and they've been making that claim since they started. It's intended for their base so they can easily dismiss how popular the protests have been by making it appear like a sham or democrat conspiracy, when in (their warped) reality, Trump is super popular so the only way these protest happen is if people are paid to show up.
They've made similar propaganda to explain the popularity and crowd sizes of Bernie's Anti Oligarchy rallies.
I do agree that it's less eye grabbing or punchy compared to the previous 'No Kings' protest, which was immediately understandable in comparison.
Thanks for joining us!
It's based on a John Lewis quote: "Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble."
Thanks! Though from from what I understand degenerate has also been picked up by neo-nazi's due to its origins being from eugenics.
But at this point I feel like that scene in Letter Kenny. I get your intent 😅
Hi, mod here. Could edit your insult to something else so that it complies with Rule 1?
The West Virginia community on our instance acts like a subreddit on Reddit (Lemmy itself functions like a federated Reddit clone, while Mastodon is like a federated Twitter).
I'm not the creator/admin of the this instance (that would be @admin@50501.chat), but I am a moderator for all of its communities.
Thank you.
Hi. Could you remove the insult from your comment (even if I think it's justified) to align with Rule #1?
I like it! A good idea to put on some signs or pamphlets for next protest.
It's been a new name for each one, I guess to appeal to different groups for different problems. The 'Hands Off!' one for stopping the dismantling of Social Security did succeed in getting massive attendance from older people, so it seems to be working.
