OPINION:
Thousands and thousands of leftist tools of the Democrats, including illegals, took to the streets over the weekend to express dismay with President Trump’s administration and with Elon Musk to warn the White House to keep “hands off” their rights, their stuff, their earnings, their health care, their education and more.
It’s interesting that illegals and those who spend their days protesting instead of working would lay claim to the idea that they own stuff — that the White House, via budget savings and deportations, is somehow stealing what they’ve earned.
You can’t claim a right to be in this country if you’re illegal.
You can’t claim a right to America’s entitlements and taxpayer-funded services if you’re here illegally.
You can’t claim the higher ground and make a case for moral superiority by telling the government to stop saving Americans from costly fraud and waste.
“I am an immigrant, I am undocumented, unafraid, queer and unashamed,” said Greisa Martinez Rosas, executive director of United We Dream, a group that advocates on behalf of an estimated 400,000 immigration activists. She made the comments at a “Hands Off” rally in Washington before a crowd of thousands. The D.C. rally was just one of about 1,000 or so that were held around the nation over the weekend, all as a means of protesting the Trump administration.
“Hands off” is their rallying cry.
Stupid is as stupid does.
“Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them,” the “Hands Off” website reads, The Hill reported. “They’re taking everything they can get their hands on, and daring the world to stop them. [So] we’re taking to the streets nationwide to fight back with a clear message: Hands off! … Take your hands off our healthcare, our Social Security, our civil rights, our freedom and our education.”
Leftists don’t like it when their unearned cushy freebies are taken away. It makes them sad. They think they’ll have to go to work and earn money to feed their families, and house their families, and clothe their families, and provide health care for their families — and that makes them even sadder. It’s so much easier to not work and take from others. Moreover, illegals don’t like being deported. They’re probably the saddest of all with this new administration.
“This is the moment where we say NO,” the “Hands Off” website states. “No more looting, no more stealing, no more billionaires raiding our government while working people struggle to survive.”
And to emphasize the point — they loot and steal; they burn and destroy; they key Teslas and set them on fire.
They’re trying to make life better for the working people, dontcha know.
“Neil Young, Joan Baez teaming with Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for anti-oligarchy rally,” Breitbart wrote in a recent headline.
On the heels of “Hands Off” — this: “Fighting Oligarchy,” the next batch of rallies coming to a community near you. It’s part laughable, part humorous, and part stupid. It’s the socialists masquerading as Democrats going on a public rant about the oligarchs who are infecting America’s political system — all the while ignoring the biggest oligarchs of the left that donate generously to the Democrat Party. Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, anyone? Google’s Sundar Pichai? Amazon’s Jeff Bezos? When billionaire businessmen do the bidding of the left, it’s not an oligarchy, it’s a protection of democracy. When rich guys like Musk do the good work of restoring transparency and reeling in waste of tax dollars — then it’s “Fighting Oligarchy” time.
Democrats have moved so far left on the political scale that they’ve practically founded an entire new universe. Nobody wants what they’re selling anymore — nobody, that is, except for the socialist, corrupt, greedy, power-hungry, anti-American types who’ve been living off the doles of unearned tax dollars for years.
It’s high time for Democrats to grow up and stop spreading their hostile anger and lunatic nonsense in the streets. Even protesters need to have rational messages, or else why protest? Even protest movements need focus and reason and rhyme. Without, the streets are turned into baffling shows and rowdy squawk-fests where the undisciplined and uninformed throw down with toddler-like tantrums — where the spoiled and entitled of the left demand what they haven’t earned.
“Hands Off.”
“Hands Up.”
“Black Lives Matter.”
“Fight the Oligarchy.”
“F—- Trump!”
Democrats do love their catchy phrases, don’t they?
Now they just need to add in some truth.
