Yes, it seems to work like this: Liberals are useful idiots in general for leftist controlled movements and the average radical leftist is, in turn, considered useful idiots by their own cynical leadership.
Did you see the one crying because the Gaza conflict ended and with it his paid protesting career, he was scared that he would have to find a job. By now he has probably learned that no one will hire an idiot with a long list of arrests for making fools of themselves in public.
Aye, and after all paid leftist rabble-rousing gigs are seasonal. Usually a relatively brief spate every two years. But I hear that Amazon is now hiring extra warehouse staff for the holiday rush season.
I JOINED ANTIFA BECAUSE ICE IS VIOLATING PEOPLE'S RIGHTS, SEPARATING FAMILIES AND ACTING LIKE NAZIS; IF ANY OF THAT WERE TRUE, YOUR ACTIVIST JUDGES WOULD HAVE ALREADY STOPPED THEM. INSTEAD, THE DIMS PAY YOU IDIOTS TO BREAK LAWS AND DISRUPT ICE OPERATIONS, AND THEY LAUGH AT YOUR IGNORANCE; CRAP, I WILL BE ARRESTED, ICE OPERATIONS WILL CONTINUE AND NO ONE IN MY PARTY WILL CARE OR HELP ME.
