We need to counter the blame Soros for funding the Lefties meme.

Good God, he's just one person. How many deep pockets due the right-wingers count on? Anyone care to dop names so we can start a list?

received a quick "provide me objective evidence to support, and I may not end up thinking you're an under-educated idiot." That's the most effort I'll put into pretending their assertions have merit.

('provide me objective evidence to support' is a long-running joke around in the building often used to weed out wastes-of-time)

than Trump hiring people off Craigslist to hold up signs at his rallies, which he did regularly. And it would have been perfectly legal to help people who wanted to exercise their First Amendment rights. The best response, though, is to point out that (a) if the rallies really were funded, why did we have to hand-make our own signs? They'd have been mass-produced, like they are at Trump rallies; and (b) 7 million people demonstrated for free because they wanted to. Most of us would have had to be paid a lot not to do it.
