Truth&EverythingInBetween

recently watched a video of a protest at a federal building, and I jotted down the main points from the demonstrators. The arguments were heated, contradictory, and sometimes baffling. Let’s break it down.
One protester passionately declared his love for America and what it stands for—liberty, opportunity, the whole deal. Yet, in the same breath, he defended illegal aliens, saying he’s not a hypocrite for supporting them. Interesting choice of words, right? He’s out here protesting on federal property, claiming no one’s attacking them, but

the national guard is the aggressor, but here’s the rub: the protesters were the ones getting vocal and aggressive, while the National Guard just stood there, doing their job. So why paint the Guard as the bad guys?
Another guy took aim at the National Guard, saying they don’t have to do this job and implying they’re somehow less American for enforcing the law. So, what, doing your job as a Guardsman makes you unpatriotic? That logic doesn’t add up. He also hinted at legalizing everyone, which, let’s be real, isn’t happening. Then there was talk of “occupied territories” and “stolen land.” History begs to differ—this land’s story is complex, but claiming it’s still “theirs” ignores centuries of reality.
The rhetoric got wilder. One protester screamed about a “factory reset” for a corrupt government  for all the problems. Sure, corruption’s real. Too many folks are too blind to see it.l the corruption of their own party overlooking their flaws  Meanwhile, some protesters seemed less interested in fighting for the land and more focused on chaos, even suggesting murderers and rapists should roam free in LA. Yikes.
Then there was the guy who, when asked about the Mexican flag at a U.S. protest, said he liked its colors. That’s it. No deeper reason—just vibes. Why wave another country’s flag here? It felt like a stunt, not a statement. Some claimed the U.S. is “stolen land” and illegal immigrants have a right to be here, but that argument ignores legal and historical realities.
A pro-Palestine protester chimed in, saying he doesn’t want tax dollars funding the National Guard. Okay, but if we defund them, who’s protecting the country when threats like China roll in? He also mentioned not wanting to see more kidnappings, which sounded like a recycled talking point. Meanwhile, claims that the LAPD is hurting “innocent” people didn’t hold up—the protesters were the ones acting out, not the cops.
Some argued they were “just there,” peacefully protesting. But screaming about doxxing people and telling National Guard members to quit their jobs? That’s not exactly peaceful. The line about the Guard not doing ICE’s job felt like a weak attempt to muddy the waters.
At the end of the day, the protest seemed more about grandstanding than solutions. Waving foreign flags, yelling about stolen land, and demonizing those enforcing the law doesn’t fix anything. It just creates noise.
