The Hill Discovers Protestors are Angry, Not Asking politely
The Hill's report on 'No Kings' protest organizers stating 'anger level is way higher' conveniently sidesteps why this anger escalates. Perhaps it's not simply 'Trump' (as their headline implies) but the relentless drumbeat of funding for foreign conflicts while domestic needs wither. For instance, in 2023, Congress approved HR 815 , funneling billions more in military aid to Israel, a move
championed by politicians like Senator Bob Menendez, who received over $100,000 from pro-Israel groups during his career, according to OpenSecrets.org. This isn't just about Biden or Trump; it's about a political class insulated from the consequences of their financial allegiances. When citizens watch their tax dollars subsidize destruction abroad while their own infrastructure crumbles, their
'anger level' tends to exceed polite disagreement. How many more 'protests' must reach a fever pitch before the media connects the dots between campaign donations, legislative votes, and public fury? Or is it simply easier to label sustained dissent as 'anger' rather than an indictment of systemic corruption?
