Which is it? Are we aging hippies in need of a nap, or violent lunatics? [View all]

Make up your mind, Stephen Miller!...and JD Vance.

The right wing media (faux news and notnewsmax) have been portraying the protestors as violent, and calling us radical violent lunatics. A lot of us are indeed aging hippies, which is why we are not violent.

Today Stephen Miller said the protestors in DC are "aging white hippies who need to go home and take nap". I have seen the rant from Stephen Millr several times on my news feed. JD Vance shared the same sentiment and added his two cents.

Stephen Miller brands citizens protesting deployment of the National Guard in DC ‘elderly white hippies’ (From the Independent)

"Top Trump aide Stephen Miller has attacked “elderly white hippies” protesting against the deployment of the National Guard in Washington DC.

On Wednesday (20 August), Miller, JD Vance and Pete Hegseth visited troops in Union Station, where they gave out Shake Shack burgers and congratulated the military members on “doing a hell of a job”.

As protesters heckled the group, Deputy Chief of Staff Miller addressed the troops and told them to ignore the “elderly white hippies”, who he said needed to “go home”.
