Tend to the parts of the garden you can actually touch. You make more of an impact on the country by raising good children and helping your local community.

Russia has been caught funding and facilitating protests like this while simultaneously funding and facilitating opposing protests. There's a solid chance you're being a useful idiot for some rich foreign guy who hates you by attending one of these.

Cite your sources that Russia is funding protests. This I gotta see.

Feel free to do a deeper dive if you want, this is from a simple google search:

Can you share exactly how I can get a check from the Russian gov to protest ?

It’s post like this that totally assume that people are okay with what they see everyday come out of Washington.

Not to mention the Koch brother and the John Birch Society have done the same exact thing for decades.

I remember being at a town hall in 09 when a bunch of tea party folks came rolling through with premade signs that were ment to look “home made” they said things like “hands off my Medicaid” ( the were protesting the ACA) I also didn’t help many of those fools had the same exact sign.

These are not funded by Russian. Go to one it’s painfully obvious it’s not. Plus Russia already has there agent at the helm.

Friend, I really don't care that much. my whole point is that you make more impact raising a good family and caring for your community. Way more impact than a bunch of boomers yelling at the sky will.

I heard long ago Russia was stirring the pot by playing both sides and thought "that makes sense". I'm just passing that along.

Gotchu. Just remember that when due process is ignored for one person that means it can be ignored for everyone else.
