70. Repubs claim that Soros is paying people to protest.

Oct 2025

I don't know how many of them actually believe it, but every time there's a big protest, this trope gets trotted out. They just can't believe that huge numbers of people would take time out of our lives to do this just because we actually care about what's happening to this country. Among other things, that runs counter to one of their other favorite tropes - that anyone who opposes Trump "hates America." So they claim we must be getting paid!

It's pathetically childish and incredibly tiresome, but that's MAGA and the GOP for you!
