Read: California Is Not Stolen Land, and It's Not the United States' Fault Mexico Is Bad at War

See, this info isn't exactly hidden. History is pretty clear about California's journey as a territory, but even if you were to sit down and tell this to your average rioter, it wouldn't matter. The truth isn't going to help the situation here because the social justice-obsessed "protester" doesn't care about it. 

And I'll add this for good measure. 

These rioters don't care about the illegal aliens either. All that screaming and crying about how we need to treat people like humans and that no person is "illegal" goes right out the window when you make it about another group, such as Israelis, or babies in the womb. 

The only thing many of these people care about is hating the United States of America. That's it. Whatever gives them the ability to practice that hatred is the only thing that matters. If it gives them the excuse to destroy, intimidate, and destabilize, then that's all the motivation they need. 

If tomorrow, the illegal immigrants suddenly became assets and actually helped the country in a way that made it stronger and more cohesive, you'd find many of these rioters suddenly dropping the pretense and start going after these immigrants post-haste. Suddenly, the "no one is illegal" virtue signal would fly out the window. 

This is because their first and foremost loyalty is to an ideology, and if a cause falls outside it, then they're enemies with that cause. If a cause falls within it, then it's useful... for now. 

This is Marxism, plain and simple. Destabilization is the main goal for many of these people protesting and rioting. If it helps collapse the system or make it hard to govern properly so that money is spent, and PR opportunities present themselves, then they'll temporarily take up the cause célèbre. First it was Black Lives Matter, then it was to "free Palestine," and today it's to stop deportations of illegal aliens, many of them violent criminals. 

All these incidents were made to make the United States look heartless, hurtful, and hateful while the opposition looks noble, welcoming, and freedom-oriented. 

It's all a mask, of course. These Marxists are the furthest thing from caring or having their actions based in freedom. This very protest is proof of this. If they cared about freedom or people, they would be cheering on the deportation of these people because of how many problems they've brought to this free country, including death, addiction, sexual assault, kidnapping, and trafficking. 

But all of these things are great to the mind of a Marxist, because whatever does damage to America and her people is a virtue. 

I would say that the United States has its fair share of problems, but it's not evil. In fact, it's one of the greatest forces for good in the entire world, and the American people have had enough of being told the opposite is true. 

This is an ideological assault on the American system, and while they burn, loot, and assault, real Americans are having to foot the bills. 

It's my honest opinion that President Donald Trump should buckle down harder than he is. Peaceful protests are great, and people can have them all day long, but these idiots who go around rioting at every opportunity need to be made examples of. These subversive elements in our nation have gotten way too comfortable donning masks and hurting people, and it has to stop. 

Their continued presence only encourages more of the same to happen.
