re: #460 Killgore Trout

I’m pretty sure there aren’t clear objectives for the movement for a reason. The protests themselves are the entire purpose and the goal is to keep them as active as possible.

This is what a bottom-up organic protest movement looks like. It is messy, it isn’t coherent (especially at first), and it is uncoordinated. That doesn’t make it sinister. If it ends up being dominated by flakes and crazies and Marxists, then it IS sinister and ought to be treated accordingly.

If, on the other hand, it had sprung from the minds of a couple of political operatives with access to lots of money, who could start it going with a relatively consistent message and brand, it would be astroturf and look like the Tea Party.
