Roger Ogden, the guy organizing the pro-COVID "protest" in San Diego, is a known white supremacist who has astroturfed a number of "Patriot" rallies over the years. Local news does a major disservice not explaining who he is - like he's just some guy. https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/local/freedom-rally/509-cffea06c-d18e-4a45-8e8a-517961c6ae5b
I covered this, which he was involved in organizing as well. Following orders like a good little bootlicking proxy https://itsgoingdown.org/san-diego-far-right-trolls-outnumbered-chicano-park-fight-among/
If you look at these city by city, look who is organizing them. Look at the names and the organizations. They are either white supremacists or white supremacist-adjacent. They are proxies. These are not organic protests.
Not to say that there aren't people buying in. Those people are generally what are known as "useful idiots." It is truly embarrassing that people are so willing to be led by the nose, but that's who they were all along.
