The protests spanned more than 30 cities in Illinois as part of a “Hands Off!” National Day of Action campaign in more than 1,300 locations. The largest protest in the state took place in downtown Chicago, where an estimated 30,000 people flooded the Loop, chanting “This is what democracy looks like!” and “This is what Chicago looks like!” More than 3,000 people took to the streets of Gurnee, including U.S. Rep.

Deranged Liberal Loons. You ask them why they are there and they either can’t explain it or they say it’s because the TV or voices told them to do it. Goofballs. The party of inclusion and understanding just needs someone to hate and protest against…doesn’t matter why.

If you saw the video of these Soros funded AstroTurf “protests,” you noticed that the paid, bussed in marchers all had one thing in common. They were all old lesbians — or people who looked like old lesbians.
One video exposed a couple of people being at any rally, no matter what the cause. Prominent were a tall, cadaverous looking man, actually a college instructor ( yikes!) and a rather unhoused looking woman with no teeth. But no, they aren’t paid, carry the same nonsensical signs and mindlessly chant stupid slogans from the same piece of paper. Just a coincidence.
