 "Kamala Harris, who couldn't draw more than fifty people to a rally, 
was bussing in paid crowds to make it look like she had thousands 
of supporters attending her events."





astroturfing noun 
the deceptive practice of presenting an orchestrated media or public relations campaign in the guise of unsolicited comments from the public; an artificial version of a grass roots campaign

Joe Rogan had an interesting comment the other day about the peasant uprisings taking place in Los Angeles and elsewhere. 

He said they were "astroturfed." AstroTurf is an artificial grass surface used on playing fields. 

In other words, it's fake grass. When an event is said to be "astroturfed," the speaker means the event is the opposite of an organic, grass roots event. It's an imitation event in the same way that AstroTurf is imitation grass.

We saw that for months on end during last year's presidential election. Kamala Harris, who couldn't draw more than fifty people to a rally, was bussing in paid crowds to make it look like she had thousands of supporters attending her events. 

And people watching at home actually fell for it. I know plenty of dopes who lost their shirts betting on her to win the election. One guy lost $7,000 that he couldn't afford to lose betting on Harris. And that was after I specifically told him Trump was going to win.

Kamala Harris's astroturfed campaign was not an isolated event. In fact, astroturfing is much more common than most people realize. 

When Elon Musk took control of Twitter, he discovered millions of fake accounts that were used to show support for a number of leftist issues. 

On Amazon there are authors who pay people to post fake reviews for their books. You can go all the way back to the Beatles paying girls to scream for them in front of television cameras. Astroturfing has been going on for a long, long time.

Look at these No Kings rallies taking place at cities across the country. Do any of them look real to you? 

If you leave out people that are here illegally and have an emotional investment in protesting, who really cares? 

Even low-IQ liberal White women, who are the first to support any leftist cause, aren't really out en masse. 

Here in Los Angeles where I live there were ads in Craigslist for paid protesters. When you have to pay people to attend a protest, then your protest really doesn't have any support. 

Yet there are always plenty of dupes on hand to fall for these fake crowds and think it's all real. 

Henry sent me a meme of baby boomer senior citizens headed to a No Kings rally in their wheelchairs and walkers. Hahahahahahaha!!!!! Maybe someone paid them with cases of prune juice.

And my friend who lost his $7,000 life savings - he watched the fake crowds at Kamala Harris's fake rallies and actually thought she was going to win.

 Another guy just sent me an email of Charlie Chaplin as Hitler. I guess the inference is that Trump is another Hitler, despite the two of them, other than being natural born leaders elected by popular landslides, having virtually nothing in common.

What's interesting is how young people are reacting to these protests, and, in particular, young White men. They're livid. They want to deport everyone. 

I wouldn't say they've reached their tipping point, but they're closer to it than at any time in history. And if that ever happens, watch out. An army of pissed off young White men would wipe the floor with the leftist scum of this country, women included. 

There wouldn't be any need to AstroTurf their anger. It's becoming more real by the day.

Makow Comment - They weren't all paid. Most were Democrats. In any case, the ICE deportations like the tariffs should not have been blanket. The illegals who could demonstrate they were gainfully employed and had families should have been offered a path to citizenship. After all, the Biden Administration invited them to come to the US. The Trump admin has to consider that the US has some responsibility here.
