Day 2790 Paid protesters?

5th April 2025

Demonstrations came to downtown Holland today, and we hit it full in the face.

We had done our rounds of the Goodwill thrift store, and were heading over to the north side to go to, yet again the UPS store. We had to drive through the town when we were immersed by demonstrators on both sides of the road. Placards were being waved, and chanting was going on complaining about Trump and Musk, about how they were destroying the social security system and ruining the country. It was quite intimidating, and although these protesters have the right to their opinions, not everyone wants it rammed down their throats. The arguments were intense, and most were basically wrong. It is the aim of the Democrats to try to dis-stabilise the country by saying the complete opposite to what is happening.

As we were driving along Kelli was giving the thumbs down signifying that she didn’t agree. One of the protesters then gave her the finger in reply. This was an insult, and the window was lowered and Kelli called out the person for being rude. This was met with loud verbal abuse, which illustrated that there is so much more hate than honest discussion.

Throughout this confrontation I had slipped down into the seat trying to be invisible.

I had not seen this scale of activity even during the height of of the election, so whether this was an organised protest with people being “shipped” in, like it has been alleged, I’m not sure. 

There is no doubt that something sinister is behind all this unrest, no government would dare touch social security, Medicare or Medicaid, that would be political suicide. 

Savings are vital, in less than ten years funding for social security will run out, as most of the income to the federal government will go to pay the interest on the vast dept that America has been saddled with, but there are many that don’t understand that.

Elon Must continues to be the bad boy finding all the waste, fraud and abuse, Trump is wrong to deport all the criminal gang members, other countries should take a look, and do a similar thing before it’s too late.

 The day did start well, we did sell the dresser that we posted yesterday, it will take pride of place in a nursery near South Haven.
