Carl Higbie didn’t stumble into an epiphany — he’s doing what every conservative should do: call out performative left-wing theater for what it is. On his Newsmax program Frontline he’s been sharpening that criticism into a steady drumbeat, and this latest viral mockery of the purple-haired outrage brigade only underlines how out of touch these protests have become.
The “No Kings” rallies swept cities across the country and spilled into Europe as activists staged mass demonstrations aimed at what they call authoritarian tendencies in the current administration. Organizers told sympathetic outlets the movement is about resisting centralized power, but for many Americans the spectacle looked less like civic dissent and more like a street carnival of slogans and celebrity endorsements.
Where coverage wasn’t awash in twee signs and pop-star cameos, some protests crossed the line into lawlessness and required police action; in Los Angeles, authorities used crowd-control measures and made multiple arrests after protesters failed to disperse. That reality punctures the narrative of uniformly peaceful dissent and shows the predictable result when organizers prioritize optics over concrete plans.
The movement even staged a flagship event in Minnesota with high-profile performers headlining, turning earnest political protest into a festival circuit that the left markets as moral authority. When activists hire celebrities to sing and scream, it’s no surprise the conversation drifts from policy to propaganda — and the rest of the country watches with a mix of bewilderment and exhaustion.
Let’s be blunt: the purple hair, the costumed stunts, the recycled slogans — these are the gestures of a political culture more interested in signaling virtue than solving problems. While millions of Americans worry about secure borders, inflation, and the fallout of foreign engagements, this class of performative activists treats outrage like a hobby and expects applause for feeling upset.
Conservatives shouldn’t be defensive about pointing out the hypocrisy. Calling out bad-faith protest and double standards isn’t silencing dissent; it’s demanding real solutions and consistent standards for public order. If rallies turn into chaos or lawbreaking, those behind them must be held accountable — not celebrated by the media or shielded by platitudes.
So let Carl Higbie and others keep exposing the silliness and the danger of these manufactured outrages. Hardworking Americans want leaders who protect liberty, uphold the rule of law, and focus on tangible results, not a circus of purple hair and performative pain. It’s time to trade the drama for discipline and let common sense lead the conversation again.
