Marxists and their useful idiots gather in Greenwich: End deportation of illegals! Bring back waste!

what happened to the ukrainian flags and BLM banners? (Asking for a friend)
“Hands off our government!” they demand, “we like it exactly as it is.”
“Among the handmade protest signs were messages regarding free speech, schools, Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, public lands, personal data, the courts, the media, libraries and personal data – to name a few.”
Social Security: 20,000 million dead recipients? — “so what?” Greenwich Invisible founder Merlyn Pierson insisted to FWIW. “Those people were alive at some point, and today their great-grandchildren are receiving and entitled to the benefits their ancestors earned. Removing them from the rolls doesn’t make Social Security stronger, it weakens it — somehow.”
Deportation of Venezuelan gang members. “We’re against that, too — those individuals took the trouble to get to America, they have every right to stay here, and we have the obligation to feed, house and pay them, because no human is illegal.”
Trillions in Government waste: “That’s not waste”, attendee Jimbo Himes insisted: “It’s how we do business. Without waste, and a bit of fraud here and there, the wheels of government wouldn’t be greased, and everything would grind to a halt. No, the proper way to do this is to form another study group that will prepare a report on the subject for Congress, so that we can submit it to a new committee and ignore and bury it, as we’ve always done. That’s tradition, and anything that threatens that tradition threatens government as we know it.”
Boys competing in girls sports. State Attorney General William Tong is all for it: “Title IX was enacted all the way back in 1972” he explained, “when science was still evolving, before it was settled and immutable. Today we know that “science” is feelings; if an individual feels like a girl, he is a girl — period. Well, not period, maybe, but you get my point. Anyone who claims that the gender formerly known as female is less physically capable than a 6’3” 195 lb child with a penis is just a homophobic Nazi and probably drives a Tesla. Hands off our school children!”
Speaking of schools, the teachers union, Connecticut Education Association, sent dozens of its members to the party, to protest anything Trump and to warn against anything that would threaten their record of accomplishment.
“It’s simply amazing”, CEA president, the late Belle Haven resident and still-active Social Security recipient Dorothy Blanche insisted. “We’re innovative and effective, and we get results. Sure, Hartford school students test out at 14% math proficiency and 22% reading, but statewide, those numbers are 40% and 51%, * so clearly, we’re on the right track — let’s not stop now. Besides, how important are those scores, anyway? Look how many of those kids we send to college, and isn’t that what counts?”
All in all, a grand time time was had by all, and afterwards the crowd dispersed, many to partake in celery/carrot juice high colonics at Glenville’s new Green & Tonic, leaving only the usual trash and litter that’s the hallmark of leftists’ protests. “Don’t worry about picking this up, dearie”, one of the Invisible Ladies assured a reporter, languidly waving a hand at the debris, “there are people who do this sort of thing — they’ll take care of it”.
