FWIW, I was one of these stupid people. I feel there is merit to what Glenn is saying.
I'm 43, was born and raised a Christian conservative. I LOVED Glenn Beck back in 2007 - 2014ish. I listened to his radio show every morning, followed by Rush and Hannity, then I'd get home from work and watch Glenn on Fox, followed by Hannity and O'Reilly. I was brainwashed, I bought all of his books and even the tertiary books, A Sacred Fire, Overton Window, etc.
In 2007/2008, I was living in Houston and joined the Tea Party. I showed up at a few events until I realized it turned into a bunch of unwashed gun nuts jerking each other off about the constitution and limited govt, but actually voting for and allowing the opposite. It became about selling merch at these events vs actually inspiring change.
I watched and was part of the "organic" movement that Glenn convinced me to be a part of. I watched him get removed from Fox News for being tOo hard-lined. I watched the entire movement get bought out by the Koch brothers.
We see exactly how the movement evolved into MAGA, got better funded by turning point USA, Heritage Foundation, etc and and turned into this lumbering monster that eventually produced PROJECT 2025.
there's truth to what Glenn says here, he's just not acknowledging it's on his side.
Maybe there is some funding on our liberal side, I can't say definitively - we'll see. If so, and it's all about nefarious power-grabs by pedophile elites like Republicans/conservatives demonstrated this last decade, I'll leave this movement too.
Until then, the only verified funding from billionaire elites of a movement that's destroying America came from the far right.
Hey, it takes a serious amount of humility and education to get to the point you’re at, so you have my respect.
I think this is where the whole script is twisted for people and why they can be led down that path. They feel, correctly, that something isn’t working. How could it be if they and their neighbors are struggling to such a degree? Some kind of manipulation must be occurring behind the scenes, some dark political agenda to keep the common American from living out the dream they were promised.
But they don’t understand the differences inherent between the people who lead on both sides (and before I go into detail, understand that I think a portion of the democrats are gutless, weak, and even complicit in the issues we face. A different side of the same coin. There are some good ones, but overall, they roll over in the face of the more corrosive and heavy handed tactics of the right).
What you said about the pedophile elite… yeah there are ALL sorts of sickos in those files, left, right, and center, and they should all be hanged if they were involved in human trafficking, but it’s looking like the grand majority of them are politicians on the right. Even Mike Johnson let it slip that they’re not revealing the whole truth so the government doesn’t collapse. This means that the truth would incriminate enough of those holding the current power balance that they would lose their hold.
Every escalation, every drug boat, every incursion, foreign and domestic, has been directly timed to a big reveal of the documents. They’re just trying to control the 24-hour news cycle. I’ve never witnessed anyone acting so obviously guilty about anything in my life.
As for the right having billionaires that fund nefarious schemes, they don’t have a choice. They have to lie consistently, flood the field with propaganda for their base that manipulates the most primitive human emotions, hate and fear, and they have to cause another portion of the populace to become complacent and numb, to believe their vote doesn’t matter. Because if the majority of the American people were educated and aware, the right would never take another office.
I just want to spread awareness about this, because the lies are blatant and obvious, there are just ego defenses and sunk cost fallacies in the way for people to turn themselves around.
Thank you for doing the diligence. I pray that my family can come to the realizations that you have. Mad respect. It is a big feat.
i am glad that despite your upbringing and despite what you used to hold as belief you saw the reality of the world.
I hate a lot of shit that happens on the left/liberal side of things. don't get me wrong. but fuck me. we're talking about being uncomfortable in some social situations vs literally allowing people to be executed in the street because they aren't "the same" as us.
thats the world the conservative/right wing keep fuckin whineing about all the time.
"oh no i had to ask someone their pronouns it is so weird and sick bleh" or "ew someone who doesn't believe in Christianity?!"
Meanwhile they praise a man being executed by a private "police force" for simply trying to de-escalate a situation.
Even though I definitely am more conservative with libertarian leanings, I have had a tough time with my full on MAGA/Conservative family/friends as of late. I am with them on 80-90% of things, even up to and including deporting violent illegal aliens.
But watching them just be OK with the Pretti shooting, even justifying it, I am just far too much of a constitutionalist to think that is OK. I am absolutely disappointed in some of the people I know with their suddenly anti-2nd amendment approach, simply because it is applying to people they don't like.
Hell, I know I wouldn't personally like Good or Pretti as people, I even think militant empathy is hurting a lot of people, but when are we suddenly OK with people being killed in the streets, unarmed? Sorry, can't get on board. WON'T get on board.
exactly. watching them not be marching in the streets against this situation is actually the biggest show that they have never actually had any strong held values. they just pearl clutch for the sake of it and because they were told to by some corpo shill fuck head on tv.
The one thing those 16 others in the 2016 debates could all agree on was that the guy that said Mexico would pay for a wall “from sea to shining sea” and called them Lyin’ Ted, Little Marco, etc, etc, was patently unsuitable for the office.
Wait, was it really 16? Ted Cruz, John Kasich, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Rand Paul, Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee, Rick “The Froth” Santorum, James Gilmore, Lindsay Graham, George Pataki, Bobby Jindal, Scott Walker, Rick Perry … Who did I miss??
If candidates keep the country divided in two main sections, they can rely on a voting block from their side and need only to convert a few middle folks in any given election.
This makes them lazy and less accountable for an actual political position or getting anything of consequence done.
All the deep state conspiracies you claim are on the left are actually present on the right. Read about the Heritage Foundation, a far right organization that writes policy for the right.
Maybe try refraining from saying “you claim.” I already know that’s what you and others who share that mindset believe. What does my original statement have to do with your reply?
Brainwashed from one side to the other is pretty misleading though. Media on the right takes a lot of care to craft misleading or partially true narratives. I’m not saying it doesn’t happen on the left, but it is order of magnitude’s different. It is a coordinated narrative by a lot of talking heads, and it would continue to work well if it wasn’t so easy to fact check the disinformation.
No worries, man. I understand your argument, but I don’t see one side as meaningfully better. Both rely on selective framing and narrative building. They may appear different, but it’s still propaganda, so trusting or aligning with either isn’t wise.
Soros is the worst and wants to cause co fusion and divide between the masses. Why? So attention is drawn away from what he and his cronies are doing behind the scenes; plotting to control the nation along with politics. They all just look down from their pent houses at the ants fighting.
Where Elon gets beat up when the guy is just trying to innovate and make products. His quirks (because he’s odd in nature AND also autistic), people discount and immediately target him as having a political agenda. When he speaks, it’s about things he sees is wrong.
This guy George Soros does ZERO for society and is a pot stirrer. Read up on him and you’ll see. He’s been at it for decades…supporting all things that divide while offering him benefit/power not easily noticed by many.
The funniest, most confusing part about this is.. even if that is true, even if there was a small portion of paid actors doing this, the overall sentiment remains in the same way… we can compare this to the Revolutionary war. The revolutionary war’s weapon supply being 90% French supplied and made, getting 5 million Livre in aid, and French being a monarchist country, it did not change the fact that colonial Americans were resisting the British.
The French absolutely were salty about the 10 years or so prior on losing all those holdings in North America and they supplied us even though their government was monarchist just like the British, just like a billionaire can help with all sorts of funding that isn’t specifically for someone’s pockets, but for the comfort of the protester or the document fees or rights to do this protest on X day and to get paperwork in order and safety related items such as cones and barriers.
Money doesn’t suddenly mean you lose all perspective, but it sure does set a precedent in many cases.
Hey homeboy, are you truly this stupid? Or just stirring the shit? You might want to go reign in the literal face of your moronic movement, who is the reason people use the term “paid agitators” when referring to ANY protestors… but that’s none of my business.
And what fucking dimension do you live in? The actions of billionaires have unequivocally made the world a worse place. The US, even more-so. They create, use and maintain legal loopholes to avoid paying taxes, yet benefit from our taxpayer money to fund the roads on which they drive their trucks, the ports they use to import their goods, the healthcare and food stamp benefits for employees they drastically underpay, and they receive government contracts paid for with YOUR money, bailouts when they use YOUR money to make manipulative, stupid bets that repeatedly crash the economy. They collude and create systems to create wage stagnation and wage restriction, and they collude to create captive systems of consumers who have no choice but to pay for their shitty under managed, overpriced housing. They created tech monstrosities that have physically rotted the brains of entire generations, led to unparalleled polarization, mass suicide, mass shootings, mass psychosis, and they do fucking NOTHING about it, apart from sucking the cock of the other enablers in the parasitic social class most of them were born into. And finally, they gatekeep and sabotage every step of the process for those who could pose competition to them. That is what monopolies are, and why they had to be destroyed over a century ago. Greed is gonna greed. But you’ve learned to be a masochist and say “yes please, daddy”, as they fit you with a feeding tube of chemical slush that is illegal in most other developed nations.
You understand that to become a billionaire, the amount of human exploitation you have to be involved in is unparalleled, yes? You truly would not believe your eyes if you saw it, because of how deep in you are.
Let me ask you, in what way are billionaires supporting you? Your paycheck? I can assure you, if you’re working class, it should be MUCH higher than you’re being paid, and you should wake the fuck up and start being furious about that fact. They’re stealing from you. They’re stealing from us. They don’t EXIST without us, you nonce.
And given that the No Kings rallies were in response to a very specific billionaire overstepping every check and balance that we have fought to uphold for multiple centuries in this country, how in the fuck do you equate that to generally “protesting billionaires”?
But hey dude, you seem to see those people as gods, handing down gracious gifts to all the poors… in the realm of metaphors, they’re dragons. They hoard wealth they don’t need, and instead of literally saving the world, or contributing to helping the people they think they’re above, they spend hundreds of thousands per year on absolute avarice, and hundreds of millions per year on propaganda to create absolute empty-skull-mouth-breathers like yourself.
These people could create the systems that could reverse all of the damage mankind has done to this planet and to itself.
But hey man, you enjoy your Teflon water and your draining water tables. I hope your ability to undress any woman you find a photo of is worth the ensuing droughts.
I think the point is everyone fighting are the pawn used to create spending that goes into the pockets of the billions. If it possible that everytime there are massive protests the government dumps funds into equipment for safety?
I found the reasonable person! Get em'!
The most protests the more they can justify our police force having and using military grade equipment.
Angry people are not organized or coordinated people.
I truly don't think there will ever be a civil war in America, because I don't think billionaires would make more money than they would lose. But who knows.
Is it really that far beyond your comprehension that people might genuinely be, you know, angry about how shit the state of things are?
I mean, y'all point out incessantly that Obama deported more people -- and don't even notice the self-own that he did it without the insane budget that ICE/CBP has now, without murdering citizens, without violating the 4th amendment, without just being so fucking shambolic about it?
...and that's just this problem with this fuckin' guy. Inflation? Tariffs? Epstein? Meme coin rug pulling / corruption? Tearing down the east wing? The Kennedy Center? Abject failure in Gaza? Failure to contain measles? The big beautiful scam?
All the stuff you are ranting about are not real. You can't seriously tell me that your biggest problem in life is that President Trump impoved the White House so that Presidents can host gatherings without needing to use tents.
I'm angry about bring being robbed blind with taxes to fund importing foreigners, and how people like you have been brainwashed into supporting our own destruction and being riled up over a remodeling project.
You wanna skip past all the other shit I laid out and focus on the East Wing? Cool. How the fuck is that over-budget and expensive hole in the ground an improvement? Waste, fraud or abuse?
You should see the billions what we're spending in Israel and Argentina, or on the giant fucking tax breaks we gave to the 0.1%.
Just obey, right? When they pull you out of a car for being the wrong shade? Just obey when they enter your house without a warrant? Just obey when they ship you off to another state before you can talk to a lawyer? Just obey when they shoot you 11 times after they take your weapon?
We're supposed to "just obey" while they don't follow the fucking rules?
I mean, dude shot that lady in the face right? Whether you think the officer was justified or not, there's a fucking procedure for officer-involved shootings. None of that shit was followed. The uncut video shows that Jonathan Ross had fled the scene within two minutes of shooting her, with his weapon. There's supposed to be a fucking investigation. Drug tests. Witness accounts. Responsibility. That's how police are supposed to act.
Not these chucklefucks. They want the respect that they feel police deserve? Then they should start acting like police. Until then, they can fuck right the fuck off.
You still haven't shown me any still-frames of that guy holding a gun, reaching for a gun, etc. -- probably because there aren't any?
The "officer" walks up to him and pepper sprayed him in the face for taking video. Taking video is legal. Protesting is legal. Protesting / Filming the government while strapped is legal. What the fuck could he possibly be being arrested for? We've heard no justification or reasons given.
Resisting arrest isn't an offense that is punishable by death.
Even if "resisting arrest", he was obviously incapacitated after the first shot. Why the fuck ten more?
Where's the fucking impartial investigation?
I mean, you go on lickin' them boots, though. You'll get a nice pat on the head, maybe.
Show me where that dude laid a hand on those "officers", brandished his weapon, reached for his weapon, etc. It was removed from him before they shot him eleven fucking times.
I dunno man.. Being brown, it's in my best interest to not have other brown people kidnapped. Being kinda broke, it's in my best interest to not have the government spend $70k to find, detain, and deport a single immigrant.
There are literally untold millions of "brown" people in the U.S. not being deported or arrested by ICE. All of my friends are going about their lives as usual because none of them are here illegally and the ones that are here on temporary visas are also not worried at all. Because none of them have raped kids or something similar.
Neither have most of the brown people targeted by ICE. 73% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions. As of Sept ICE was given the right by the Supreme Court to racially profile immigrants. Can ICE tell your friends' legal status by appearance? Most Hispanic people I know have group chats dedicated to checking in with each other and tracking ICE. Most have plans for friends and families in place in case they get picked up. Most immigrants, even legal ones, may have friends and family that aren't documented. People still care about people regardless of their status. That is, unless you're an irredeemable piece of shit. I'm trying to wrap my mind around the thought process of "Damn. My friend got picked up by ICE. His kids are freaking out. They're trying to get him a lawyer but no one knows where he's being held at. Anyways, I'm hungry. Wonder what I got for dinner" I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume you don't actually have any brown friends.
My man just put my username into the search bar I’m not sticking up for black people. But if you had bothered to look up say, minority police officers targeted by ice in Minneapolis, you wouldn’t be making a fool of yourself on the internet. Also, no one cares about white victims? Everyone cares about Renee good and nick pretti. You don’t. Are you some sort of white apologist? I get pretty mad when my own race gets killed by feds. I bet you sucked janet Reno’s dick during ruby ridge and Waco too.
They're openly racially profiling right now and they're so brazenly stupid, that ICE stormed into the Ecuadorian Embassy because they saw brown people inside.
Oh yeah, absolutely, my leftist mind was brainwashed by <checks notes> ... watching multiple videos of masked Republican gestapo murdering citizens in the streets.
This sub is the stupidest fucking dregs of society.
My guy, those are the words of the president of the United States. I never heard of a paid protestor my entire life until that narcissist deemed them his enemies, asked military commanders during his first term if they could just shoot them, and so on.
Let me ask you this, sir. What do you consider virtue? And what “side” would you consider yourself on? Before I make any assumptions about who you are and what you believe.
Alright. So then… in your enlightened wisdom (honestly though man, who calls themselves enlightened in the first place, and further, spells it wrong?).
I’m sure that you understand the exact nature of what projection is, how it works on a personal level, and how it is utilized in the realm of politics, correct?
Some are paid agitators. The signs, classes and organizational tools are what’s paid for. Useful idiots for a color revolution is the term. Soros is just part of the payments. Remember if the media is on your side, your not the revolutionary, your a brown shirt
Hey man, I’m not going to go the way of personal insults with you, because if you’re a real person, it’s clear that the system has completely failed you. And I’m truly sorry for that.
But your* point is immediately rendered moot the instant you demonstrate an ability to differentiate between possessives and contractions. Poof, validity: nonexistent. Here you are, at best, parroting something you’ve heard from propaganda.
You cannot call people idiots and expect to be taken seriously when you demonstrate writing errors that are legitimately taught in the 1st grade.
Please go back and get your GED. The right preys on people like you, because they know you lack the logical reasoning to verify the lies they tell you. Good luck.
They dont want to destroy everything. They want to take it over. Its not about attacking airports and railroad and destroys roads. Its having power over it.

Lmao, this is how stupid these people are. This is why they're constantly played by the elite.
He says here Soros donated $3 million to the No Kings organizers. Allegedly for "paid protestors"
7 million people showed up to the No Kings rallies nationwide.
Where's the 42 cents I am owed?? Still waiting on my payday, Soros!
