Protesters Dance From WH to Stephen Miller’s House to Show Solidarity With Migrants

The obvious question is: Exactly how does this help migrants? How does it advance whatever agenda these people are pushing? What is it about dance, specifically, that relates to immigration?
The obvious answer is that it’s totally irrelevant — but that’s not the point. The point is that these people have very little scope for virtue-signaling, but their need for virtue-signaling is so compulsive that whatever they actually can do (in this case dance) they do in the hope that it will be credited to them for righteousness. It’s not about helping migrants, it’s about doing something that will allow them to feel good about themselves.

These children also believe that 10 km runs are going to cure cancer, the power of virtue is limitless.

In this case, dance is better than just marching. Dance gets them not only the virtue signaling points, but it also gets them more attention. So, in their eyes, it’s double-plus good.
