The March for Our Lives finally took place. It dominated media coverage and conversation across the internet. No matter how hard you tried, you probably weren’t able to escape it. This protest popped up in many small cities across the country. Yet, did you see a big turnout where you live? If you weren’t in one of four cities, the answer is probably no. This is a very loud push for gun control, but is it honest? Are these just a bunch of kids trying to change the world? Or is there something else driving the story?
The Kids
Here’s the narrative portrayed by mainstream media. Kids who survived a horrific tragedy have rallied the nation. Enough is enough! Basic common sense measures can easily prevent any school shooting from ever happening again, and it’s up to the youth of America to shake the people of this country out of complacence and force the government out of the grip of the NRA. These innocent children just want to survive a school day and adults have failed them. It is only the virtue of youth that could be bold enough to finally stop gun violence.
We don’t even need to unpack how ridiculous the narrative is. We will, however, discuss how skewed the representation has been. The majority of students from Parkland aren’t actively participating in these protests. Think about that for a moment. The desire to disarm America is a minority view even in the epicenter of these news stories.
When a national school walkout was held, only about 10 percent of schools had a single student walk out. Among those schools, none had majority participation.
The march itself had only a few hundred thousand participants—way les than was predicted. It did not break records. Clearly, this is not something the nation wants. It’s not something the youth of America wants. It’s a handful of impressionable kids being exploited by a media blitz.
Behind the Curtain
You might wonder how a handful of students were able to rally hundreds of thousands of Americans (note how big a minority that still is compared to the population) to participate in a nationwide protest. That’s because you’re smart. And, the answer is that they didn’t.
The students’ images were plastered on screens and posters as the face of the protest, but they hardly organized the event. One of the biggest groups doing the logistics work behind the scenes was Everytown for Gun Safety.
You might remember them as the “research” group that lied to America and tried to claim there have been more than 30 school shootings so far this year. When the Washington Post calls you an inciting propagandist, maybe you’ve gone too far.
Working alongside Everytown for Gun Safety were the primary organizers for the Women’s March last year. Both groups are heavily funded by Michael Bloomberg. You might remember him as the former mayor of New York City. Or as the 10th wealthiest person in the world. He’s also a notorious gun control advocate. Bloomberg and his groups also reached out to celebrities including George Clooney, Steven Spielberg and Oprah. If you recall this is the who’s who of the old Clinton gang.
This is who was really behind the march, but what do they want?
The Ulterior Motive
You might think that attacking the 2nd Amendment is enough of a cause, but it’s not the real goal. Every politically savvy human being on the planet knows that gun reform is a legislative impossibility with the current U.S. government. The real goals of this march were to raise funds and register voters for the Democratic Party.
Let’s unpack that. Typically voter registration drives aren’t an inherently devious process. Citizens have the right to vote, and the paperwork can feel like a hassle, so taking it out of their hands seems like a good way to grow a party. The issue is that Democrats have consistently used these drives to slip ineligible voters past barriers for decades. It’s simple math. If you flood the registration process, you’ll get more mistakes and sneak more people through. This march, if nothing else, is a smokescreen for the Democrats to continue their illegal practices in an attempt to flip Congress in November.
This was also a fundraiser. The big checks have come pouring in, and the organizers behind the scenes have already made it public knowledge that they’ll be spending that money on lobbying efforts far outside the scope of gun control.
In short, this march was an obvious exploitation of children to push the liberal agenda. It was not supported by the vast majority of the country, but mainstream media will still tell you it was the most wonderful and important event of the year.
