The left sincerely, seriously, desperately needs to stop trying to win with memes. They are
so painfully bad at it, they constantly leave themselves open to instant, vicious and hilarious retorts. "The left can't meme" has always been true, but god damn guys, you're just holding yourselves up as punching bags at this point by continuing to try.
Liberals wearing vests with googly eyes in Portland, Oregon created an “ICE watch” network to warn illegals about ICE’s presence and activity.

Bizarrely, I think this is related to the above, with the left simply not comprehending internet troll culture. This kind of stunt may work
very briefly (and I'm talking weeks at best) until other people (smartasses, trolls, and people genuinely pissed about libtards trying to thwart law enforcement) start demonstrating how to completely disrupt and destroy these efforts.
Efforts to warn illegals that ICE is coming rely on two things -- a wide, broad network of observers to report ICE movements, and being able to quickly and
accurately communicate/broadcast impending raids to those illegals.
You cannot build a large network of observers without, well, a lot of people. You're dependent on internet recruitment and organization -- you can't hit the scale you need if you try the usual "antifa terror cell" tactic of in-person vetting and limited comms between cells. Any network large enough to engage in widescale observation and reporting on ICE movements can be
trivially infiltrated by trolls. That's problem #1.
You also cannot
prevent people from deliberately sounding false alarms (which is the Achilles' heel of this "warn the illegals" idea). Trolls start the moderately-paced process of infiltrating the observation network while simultaneously tagging along with (or learning to imitate) the "town criers" to sound false alarms. Just constant, endless false alarms. At first, illegals will panic, freak out, and either hide or flee (i.e. sowing chaos and fear, which will lead to some self-deportations and surrenders).
Shortly thereafter, the real "criers" will try to come up with some way to "authenticate" themselves to try to distinguish themselves from the false alarms. Trouble is, that's really fucking hard, especially for white liberal women who likely don't speak Spanish trying to warn mostly Spanish-only speakers that ICE is coming "and we're totally serious, not phony, we promise." Second, anything they try can be easily observed and mimicked by trolls and counter-signalers.
Then, as that "arms race" happens (producing endless hilarity in the form of videos, twitter posts, angry pronouncements by traitor leadership, news reports, etc.), the people carefully infiltrating the observation network start their prong of the attack -- generating legitimate, "fully authenticated" false alarms. Suddenly the authentic protesters, trying to warn of real ICE movements, start reporting false alarms themselves (believing they're accurate since their own network is furnishing them).
Now the network itself is unreliable. You can carry on impersonating the morons to announce your own false alarms, but even the "real deal" is fucking things up now because it's got trolls on the inside.
Once this happens and gets widely publicized just once (which you can't stop thanks to the internet), no one will trust these "observation and early-warning" movements ever again. Once people realize how easy it is to fuck with it, it won't be worth the effort and people will write the whole thing off.
ICE will experience maybe a few weeks of inconvenience through this retarded act of protest, then get a boost because people warning their targets in advance will in fact cause illegals to shrug it off. And the entire process will be really fucking funny.
All because the left has no sense of humor and cannot conceive of their own "disrupt from the inside" tactics can be trivially used against them.
