It’s the oldest trick in the radical handbook: Provoke your political opponents to violence as a way to discredit them. Protesters associated with George Soros’s MoveOn.org have been showing up at Donald Trump rallies, taunting Trump supporters until some of them start throwing punches. Then the news reports violence at Trump rallies, and the media and Trump’s opponents blame him for the violence.
MoveOn.org has promised to dog Trump’s appearances with mass protesters in the general election. (See this.)
Now the group has organized “Democracy Spring,” which it promises to be the “largest civil disobedience action of the century.” It will start on April 2 in Philadelphia, whereupon activists will march all the way to Washington, D.C., a ten-day trek that will culminate with activists occupying the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. MoveOn.org, which has been joined with other radical organizations, expects “thousands of arrests,” and is already putting into place legal representation for protesters who break the law.
This, whether or not Trump gets the nomination. Things are going to get very, very ugly in this country.
From Aaron Klein, Anti-Trump Groups Threaten ‘Largest Civil Disobedience Action of the Century’ – Breitbart:
They intend to march across the East Coast in order to spark a “fire that transforms the political climate in America.”
The operation, calling itself Democracy Spring, is threatening “drama in Washington” with the “largest civil disobedience action of the century.” The radicals believe this will result in the arrest of thousands of their own activists.
“We will demand that Congress listen to the People and take immediate action to save our democracy. And we won’t leave until they do — or until they send thousands of us to jail,” the website for Democracy Spring declares, channeling rhetoric from the Occupy movement.
The group is backed by numerous organizations, including the George Soros-funded groups MoveOn.org, the Institute for Policy Studies, and Demos.
The pro-Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) MoveOn.org has been playing a prominent role in organizing anti-Trump activism, including last weekend’s shutdown of the billionaire’s rally at the University of Illinois at Chicago Pavilion.
Another group endorsing Democracy Spring is the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). The DSA’s Chicago branch drove protesters to last weekend’s nixed Chicago Trump event, as this reporter exposed.
The AFL-CIO, the nation’s largest labor federation, announced in a press release earlier this month it is “all in behind Democracy Spring,” perhaps indicating significant mobilization.
Next month’s Democracy Spring chaos is set to begin with a meetup on April 2 at the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia.
“Then, in the spirit of Granny D, the Selma to Montgomery marchers, Cesar Chavez and the farmworker pilgrimage, and others who walked for freedom, we will set out on a 10 day, 140-mile march from Philadelphia to the Nation’s Capitol,” states the website.
In Washington DC, Democracy Spring expects “thousands of Americans” to engage in a “sit-in on the Capitol building in Washington DC in what will be the largest civil disobedience action of the century.”
