NO KINGS: Opposing talking points wrong

This past Saturday, We the People showed up to peacefully exercise our First Amendment rights. Over 7 million of us in more than 2,700 locations gathered for the No Kings protest. The detractors didn’t miss a beat with their same old talking points.

I wonder who else is amused by the worn-out “they were bussed in” assertions? If “they” (we) were bussed in, then how come the places they were allegedly bussed in from also had such large turnouts? Where are all these people lining up to get on the buses? How are they informed to do so? Who’s cutting the checks for these people who have purportedly been paid? How come we’ve never once seen any proof of the payments or the buses? Why can some people not handle the idea that we all don’t think alike? One last question: why were these large protests across America peaceful, when we were warned by Mike Johnson and other Republican naysayers of how dangerous they were going to be? 

I think we all know the answers to these questions.
