They've got nothing, so they default to what they always blame everything on.

When it talks about the Wisconsin Supreme Court race it states the race was funded by Musk and Soros.

Musk gave 24 million and Soros gave 2 million.

I was hoping for at least a little reimbursement for some poster board and markers.

Soros must have some deep, deep pockets if every single person at those rallies is getting paid.

I saw even one comment suggest the person in Lafayette who brandished a gun was paid by Soros to make trumpers look bad.

They don’t need someone to be paid to make themselves look bad, they do it just well on their own, absolutely free.

Apparently none of the above had my proper address so I didn't get the checks.

Welcome to the reborn version of the Red Scare.

They're the ones who have to advertise on Craig's List to get attendees.

They can't deal with the fact that they are unpopular, so they manufacture and repeat these excuses. Their followers who hear it can't deal either, so they latch on to any theory that preserves their image of a persecuted majority, regardless of how implausible.

on FB some dipshit was whining about "well, Soros spent as much as Musk did in Wisconsin!" (supreme court race).

SO, I looked it up, quick search: Soros gave 2 million to the state Dem party. He did not do 25 million plus as the muskrat did.

And for once, it shut the whiner up. They usually argue, but not this time. Weird.
