A user on Reddit easily exposes how all of the open movements taking place appear to be part of a national astroturfing campaign all linked to the same source:

https://www.reddit.com/r/maryland/co...omment/fnstpyl

Congrats, it looks like you all are falling for cheap propaganda intended to sow discord. It is highly likely the source may even be foreign because it is right before elections. It is a fantastic ROI. Spend $10 recycling the same website and templates andnl get country to tear itself apart. Stop being gullible sheep for every stupid cheap ploy you can find on facebook and the rest of the internet.

I read somewhere or maybe heard it on TV, that the Russians are at it again. They could be behind these "open" movements. The weird thing about that protest in Annapolis MD yesterday was the protesters all stayed in their cars. They had signs and a lot of horn honking. But they did not congregate. They stayed safely distanced in their own cars while protesting the social distancing rules.

LOL, the old "Russian bot" excuse.

People in this country can think for themselves, and they don't want to starve to death nor lose their homes.

Fact is, more and more are getting irritated by this extended stay at home nonsense.

You also fail to realize that in some areas, more people are going out each day, despite the big old electronic billboard across the freeway telling you "STAY HOME".

You have a tiny sampling and insist that people's growing anger is nothing but propaganda. The propaganda is in the fear mongering that you get on an hourly basis from the left leaning losers in the media. They would love nothing more than to watch this country crumble, and too many agree with them.

No, sorry, sacrificing millions of people and shredding people's rights in order to "save" overblown, fictional, and already proven WRONG numbers, is not going over well with millions - that isn't propaganda. But keep thinking it is - watch what happens.

What does your nonsequitur have to do with anything wrt the original content posted? It's obvious open____.com (fill in the blank with any state) movements have all been started by one single entity who mysteriously from Florida. They're recycling the same template of website, same type of grammatical syntax in their postings, and are trying to drum up out rage in other states they apparently aren't even a part of.

The whole thing stinks like a fish beyond belief, and it's exactly what the Russians did during 2016. It is so easy for gullible people to fall for the same schtick intended to divide and conquer.

It's just as likely that you and the Redit user are with the Russians and are pointing to various protest groups descriptions, some probably just copied off others and trying to sow discord without actually organizing anything.

I find it funny when accusations are so loose and sloppy that they could practically fit anyone, including the "supposed" accuser.

My post had everything to do with that pathetic attempt to blame some foreign entity and/or Russia.

Oh yes, this while thing does indeed stink beyond belief: The fact that countries have shut down economies and ordered people to stay home, and some on the left are salivating for more, it definitely does stink. I'm glad you're able to admit that.

Those protest groups are as spontaneous as the Tea Party when the Koch Bros. hired Dick Army to run it.

The Trump fan base is so enthusiastic at least the Koch don't have to bus their employees to the rallies.

Trumpers are easily manipulated and swayed by propaganda. A giant movent of mental detectives that is morphing into a domestic terrorist organization.

LOL, the Russians are coming, the Russians are coming!

The left is pathetic-at least come up with some new stories. Recycling the old ones time after time just makes you look dumb. Maybe try the Ukranians next time.

Are you sure? Evidence shows otherwise.
