Keep cameras on protesters

During President Obama’s two election cycles and the eight years of his presidency, I do recall demonstrations by tea party members, but those that have taken place during Trump’s campaigning and current town hall meetings are ridiculous. Some demonstrations are verging on anarchism and are definitely the work of manipulators behind the scenes. Even Hollywood gets in the act. After all, what sane person wouldn’t take Madonna’s comments as the gospel?

I have now started to look at these shenanigans in a whole new light. I would sincerely like to thank the far left liberals for electing Donald Trump and solidifying the conservative right. Besides the populous West Coast areas and New England, it’s obvious something woke up the “silent majority.” So I say to the left, keep it up and don’t let up on your boorish behavior and constant fear-mongering. And by all means keep those people on television during demonstrations. Their total lack of communication is amusing, but sad as well.

Don’t try to be constructive in your actions, but work on tearing the system apart and keep Hollywood involved. By all means, keep those cameras rolling.
