Let's talk about the Marxist street theater we're seeing in deep blue states & cities and will be seeing even in red states as the Marxist goon squads travel to Trump events.
This is the perfect picture to illustrate it.

I have numbered the Chinese Red Guard members with the #'s 1-4.
A big part of Marxist street theater for the masses is what I call "power posture posing", and these 4 Red Guard ladies are prime examples of it.

Power posture posing is how a committed activist projects confidence, control and domination over large groups. It is a psychological exercise.
Since the Marxists actually don't start out with popular support, they have to "fake it until they make it".

Another thing that makes this picture perfect to explain the Marxist use of power posture posing is the very large crowd in the background, all sitting, cowed and motionless, their attention completely fixed on the tiny group of 4 posing women in front of them.
Marxist revolutionaries need special training in psychologically intimidating and influencing far larger groups of people around them because...
are you sitting down?....
...they are vastly outnumbered.

This is why you see Red Guard ladies #1 and #3 in a "arms flexed", combative stance very similar to a martial arts fighting stance, a fist held horizontally in front.
Most people are psychologically peaceful. This stance tells them "submit or we're about to fight."

Red Guard fanatics #2 & # are in the "fist to the sky" posture, projecting extreme levels of confidence, power and commitment.
Most people are psychologically wired to avoid direct conflict & open, boastful displays.
This stance says "We are stronger than you. We will win."

It is all about psychologically assuming control of large populations with a small number of fanatics.
It worked in China, it worked in Russia, and in several other countries.
The Progressive Leftist radicals in America are still pretty sure they can make it work here.

With popular culture, social media & corporations on board, the national and local media is being used to PROJECT the impression these tiny Marixst goon squads engaging in street theater power posture posing are far larger & more influential than they really are.
But here's the brutal truth that's going to doom this latest fun venture in turning America into a Marxist socialist country:
The Progressive Left keeps thinking America is Europe.
We are not Europe.
A lesson they will learn on November 3.
