The Reopen America “protests” are being funded by Right Wing billionaires and pushed by Fox News and Trump as a legitimate, grassroots movement for their own political gain.

In other words, it’s the Tea Party all over again.

As I’ve talked about, these “protests” are fabricated pseudo-events paid for by Right Wing billionaires like the DeVos to create propaganda opportunities and the facade of a grassroots movement of Americans demanding to get back to work.
It’s the type of manufactured pseudo-event that America has used around the world to control foreign politics and the type of interference Vladimir Putin has started to use against America. It is a toxic, disgusting practice, and it will get thousands killed if it works.
The wealthy anti-government groups behind the Reopen America “protest” lie are the same who funded and directed the Tea Party “movement” that completed their total takeover of the GOP in 2010 by manufacturing a fake populist movement that Republicans and Fox gifted legitimacy.
It is a tangled propaganda-ed history, these last few years, and this Reopen America fabrication is yet another pseudo-event that Republicans and Fox and probably Putin will use for their own means. It’s a deadly and dangerous cycle.
