Saturday protest in Fairbanks looked like tour group to locals

52

Trump bad. Elon bad. Deport Musk. It’s the same playbook being repeated across the country and in Alaska by Democrats following the orders of Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries to deny the results of the election by acting out.

The national group 50-50+1 staged another demonstration in Fairbanks this weekend. The Saturday protest involved some of the same people as were seen outside the Republican Lincoln Day Dinner protest on Friday.

Locals said that many of the protesters looked like they were not locals.

“They looked like a tour group. They dressed like a tour group,” said one source who described them as NPCs (non-playing characters).

Fairbanks is a small enough town where political activists on both sides recognize each other and still smile and wave even if they are on different sides. The protestors did not look familiar to local residents and seemed unfamiliar with local residents who were waving to them.

Local Fairbanks residents drove past yelling things like “We love Trump” and “Thank you Elon.” But they got no reaction from the protesters.

    • And all the protesters looked like Whidbey the Dog. No difference. Easy to spot. Lots of free time on hands, and all deranged with TDS.

    • Yes because large groups of people would travel to Fairbanks, AK in the middle of winter to protest. What a joke.

    • Dermutt should be making big money in donations with all of his Communist friends out of power, and, out of touch with reality. Lousy Democrats have no one else to turn to for counsel. But as Dermutt well knows, Democrats are cheap sons of b—— and protesting helps make their painful days go by quicker. That, and lots of pot and booze. Tell them, Dermutt, that relief is years away, but you are still open for business ……..even if barely.

    • It IS easy.
      Especially when all you have to offer is contrary snark with no substance.
      .
      What, exactly is your point? If you actually have one, that is.

    • If you look at the photos of the protesters, they all look OLD. What’s up with that? Gray-haired, white-haired, pot bellies, saggy faces, triple chins, scads of wrinkles. Are these the oldsters of the 60’s who brains are diminished by old age and drugs? Must be. The gang who never grew up or matured as productive citizens. Yet, Donald Trump, almost 80, has volumes of energy. A multi billionaire, surrounded by beautiful and exotic women, a deal maker extrordinaire, author, TV star, architect, builder, etc….
      Democrats and leftists hate Trump primarily because they are ENVIOUS of his lifestyle and accomplishments.

        • Dermutt fell off the wagon again. Once he gets back on, it’s going to require 20+ donkeys to recover the beverage cart and steady him.
          😆

  1. From where ever they reside, a close look at the faces and profiles of those participating continue to reflect my earlier observation being as a whole, would make a “Freight Train taking a Dirt Road”

  2. So apparently what is happening is people are being PAID to protest and be shuttled to places to try and push the nonsense. Those people weren’t even from Alaska or our area. Check out Joe Rogan podcast. Had footage of people being asked if they were being paid to protest and they all said yes. So yes, those were nothing but TOURISTS! Absolutely ridiculous.

  3. Suzanne: Please post more “touristy” photos so we can make up our own minds. Outside tourists are, what — 95% ? — only here in the summer. A few come for northern lights or visit families or are here for professional reasons. How is a tourist supposed to dress in late winter or break-up?

  4. Delusions of grandeur much? No one is flying in people to protest in Fairbanks, Alaska.

    This is actually just an unpopular administration. I went to a protest and recognized dozens of local people I know.

  5. LMAO, Next they will be chanting, “George Soros where’s our Money/”. Just like all the paid protesters across the nation. I’m sure DOGE will find the correct Soros NGO that is paying for it. The exact same thing that is going on in the states. They even have a guy on Tik Tok who clearly states he’s being paid or he would not be there.

  6. The protestors did not look familiar to local residents and seemed unfamiliar with local residents who were waving to them…..Probably imported ‘professional” demonstrators brought in from down south by the democratic party,,,,,,food and lodging provided by your generous donations.

  7. What nonsense. Those were Fairbanks folks. Stop spreading misinformation. I spoke with several Fairbanks people there that I knew.

  8. You source for a supposed local is identified as “said one source.” I’m a 30+ year Fairbanks resident who was there Saturday. No tourists. Lots of regular Fairbanks folks who all knew each other. If there’s no news, MRA, just don’t make a report. Or state there were protests in Fairbanks on Friday and Saturday. Which is true.

    • Democrats are like rats. A little sniff of cheese brings the rest of them out looking for freebies. Most of them look old and weathered. But the marijuana parties help them with respirations and saturations.

    • it’s been verified that Suzanne Downing is a resident of Florida so how she could make a report of any accuracy is pretty laughable.

  9. I actually just flew back home to Fairbanks through Seattle, and I recognized some of these people on my flight. They were travelling as a group and were waiting at the airport for a shuttle to take them to a hotel. One of them even asked me if it was cold in Fairbanks. DUH!

    • More forced covid shots.
      More censorship of people you don’t agree with.
      More genital mutilation of minors.
      More all things Trans.
      More aborting of unborn children.
      Moral equivocation of all things.
      More big government.
      More taxes.
      More illegal immigration.

    • There is no such thing as locals if you are a protestor. you might be living there but you aren’t a local for sure. Look around you and see the American flags! Those are locals!

    • Eva, dear, define “democracy” for us, please.

      Oh and while you are at it, explain how winning the popular vote AND the electoral college is somehow “not” democracy(representative republic) in your book?

      How stopping billions of dollars in government waste, fraud and abuse, is a bad thing?

      ….and out of curiosity when you say you “fight” for this country, can you elaborate on that, please.

      I am glad you had the opportunity to participate in public discourse and it appears that all behaved themselves.

  10. This article is so skewed. There were almost 300 people there…all from Fairbanks! No one was paid. None from Seattle . A few people called “GO Trump!” Many people honked in agreement. It is very disappointing to see how the press cuts, fudges and twists a story so that it is not really the truth.

    • Spoken like a true fascist Democrat. Thanks for the tip, Gloria. But you are a wee bit late to the party. Democrats out themselves all of the time. How do they get all of that free time to hold a sign and protest? You call that productivity?

  11. Anyone else notice the same woman with the bullhorn at all these protests? Wonder if Soros or the (D)em party is paying her. I suspect she wouldn’t be so well equipped and at every protest if she was not being paid. Unless she was fueled by Trump and Musk hate. That you, Whidbey?

    • I saw a picture in the ADN of “protesters” against Nick and Dan. ALL their signs where the same and professionally made to boot. You could not get past the organized protest vibe if you tried and a lady with the bullhorn was there as well. It looked to me like a set-up for press pictures and reporting, not a real protest. I guess the 907 group finally got their marching orders and funding.

  12. If paid with NGO funds through USAID – absolutely.
    What do you think was behind BLM and Antifa – spontaneous uprisings?
    Yeah sure.
    Time for another covid booster shot, please.
