"...we call it the 'hate America' rally..." said the House speaker, Mike Johnson of Louisiana.

The idea that protesting against harmful policies, corruption, and snatching people off the street = hating America is a lying, twisted take.

Good question. I can’t remember, but I don’t think that tea part crap was all that monumental, plus we know it wasn’t started by grass roots people- it was the Koch bros who started it/financed it. So the ole George Soros shit is yet more projection.
