Who's up for a Friday evening challenge here at Twitchy?
The challenge is simple, yet might be the most difficult you have ever faced. It goes like this:
The following video of an AFL-CIO rally for 'workers' rights' in Washington, DC, yesterday is four minutes and forty-two seconds long.
If you can make it through the entire clip -- heck, if you can make it through even half -- without reaching for the nearest set of knitting needles to jam into your eyes and ears like a modern-day Oedipus, you win.
Watch ... if you dare:

Is anyone still with us? Anyone? Bueller, how about you?
God bless you if you are. This writer has been told that there are big prizes for all survivors.
[Editors' Note: There are no prizes. Calvin lied to all of you.]
OK, so there aren't prizes. But at least you know now that you can survive any diabolical torture concocted in the worst dungeon in the world if you survived that viewing.
We're not sure where to start. Not only is nearly everyone singing (and we use that word very loosely) older than Biden and Pelosi combined, but they are as tone deaf as Carl Lewis belting out the national anthem.
And the crowd (we use that word loosely, too) all look like they've been trapped in a hostage film.
We'll let X take it from here.
I can't tell if this is performance art, or a struggle session...

The answer is to embrace the power of 'AND.'

We can't believe it went on as long as it did. Everyone responsible should be tried for war crimes in The Hague.

We know. We feel your pain. But we saw it, so you have to. Those are the rules.
Instead of looking to take back their dignity at Whole Foods, they should have taken the organic celery.
— Schadenfreudelish (@aggierican) August 29, 2025
They need more fiber. https://t.co/tguk2UzF2h
Whole Foods was just one of the targets of their cringe performance. After the songs ended, they marched on Le Diplomate, a landmark DC restaurant in Logan Circle, to demand that the staff there be allowed to unionize -- even though the majority of the staff has indicated that they don't want to join a union.
It was also pretty funny when these barely mobile octogenarians sang about how they were going to 'roll over' ICE if the agents got in their way.
Someone really needs to roll on over some of the Visiting Angels for them.

Someone get them back to the Community Room for prune juice, medications, bingo, and a Matlock marathon.

Balloon games work, too.

HA!
Aren't these the same people who were protesting getting rid of gay crosswalks? They look exactly the same. https://t.co/ErmD12ewuV

They just might be. After all, boomers are the only age demographic that still supports Democrats.
I refuse to turn the sound on for this, so I’m just going to mentally insert the Married With Children parody of We Are The World. https://t.co/hKtynSGIaX
— Small Metal Owl (@SmallMetalOwl) August 29, 2025
But even with the sound turned off, it is still torturous to have to look at all of their silly signs. We particularly loved the 'everything is a distraction from Epstein' banner from the people who couldn't care less about Epstein when their fellow fossil, Joe Biden, was in office.
15 seconds was all I could stand. Can anyone top that? https://t.co/lOATmxKjg5

There is no shame in giving up early. There's only so much cringe the human brain can take.
Behold the MSNBC, er, MS NOW audience https://t.co/GBsi9hqLVX
— Matt Osborne (@OsborneInk) August 29, 2025
LOL. Yes, that tiny crowd is PMS NOW's entire audience.
I see, they've created a religion where they praise taking stuff from people who never took anything from them, except in their deluded minds. 🙄 https://t.co/ivRlnycE2k

That's called being a useful idiot for Marxism.
Man, that USAID funding cut just took the wind right out of the Democrat Protest Machine's sails.

That's embarrassing. 😳 https://t.co/U3q8aoCttY
It's not a secret that without OUR taxpayer money, the DNC is flat broke.
This is all they can muster anymore.
I do not ever want these geriatric hippies to stop performing.

The youth of this country will keep scattering from the Dems. https://t.co/otwALAoYPY
It was a painful video clip to endure, and that's an understatement.
But if that's the price we have to pay for the Democrats to continue their inexorable slide into political irrelevance in America, we will pay it gladly.
In fact, we can't wait for their next rally.
Maybe they will protest people who eat dinner at such ungodly hours as ... any time after 4 PM.
