Knowing a bunch of people who are part of this mob, I'd have to say that the "peaceful protest" is not at all what they want. They want violence. They want revolt. To be honest, even now, I'm not sure most of them know what they're fighting for. There's no coherent message. What are they even protesting?
At a certain point, someone has to call it out as it really is - not what they say it is.
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoThey're not fighting for. They're fighting against. What are they against? I don't know a bunch of people who are part of this mob, but I'll make a guess. They are against a political establishment that has ignored them and their concerns.
- afpx 6y agoWhat are their concerns? Income, opportunity?
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoI suspect yes on both. But also, I think, a sense that the country/society no longer values them, but instead looks down on them. The Democratic Party was once the party of the "working man". Now it regards many of those people as "a basket of deplorables". Bernie appeals to the same kind of people, but the mainstream Democratic Party does not.
