2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Do the people with signs like "make America Mexico again" [View all]blm
(114,411 posts)28. Who do you think are the ones whose campaign actually paid for those signs?
GOP operatives showed up on the campaign trail posing as college students and burning flags in cities right before GHWBush appearances in 1988. GOP operatives used to show up with signs that read Communists for Kerry in order to create RW buzz to smear Kerry. Pretty sure that's what is happening here, too, and working right alongside with the anarchist crowd eager for any commotion, too.
Perhaps that is not what you want to hear, though, eh? That some of us really do GET how GOP operatives work at rallies and on the internet?
You certainly do show a lot of concern in your posts that rely on believing the GOP operations are real.

It's true. The USA stole half of Mexico. If the truth is offensive I guess deal with it.

I agree. I'm afraid Stump will now say, "See, that's why we need a wall. Vote for me."
