The Trump Presidency 2.0

[ThunderHorse]

USAID was funding a lot of US NGOs that clearly were doing jack shit.

I'd love to know where the DNC's money went. It didn't dump everything into ideology or whatever, some folks were seriously skimming from their own party. People are quick to point out supporting this cause or that as a reason it is broke, but that's all a smoke screen for the real theft taking place.

I'm glad USAID is gone, but the DNC's real story is who hoovered up all of the money. We'll never know, but it also begs the question: If this happened at the DNC, who else from those orgs and media outlets walked off with a pile of money each year?

I think it's all interconnected honestly.

The left doesn't have principles, they ride trends- but they also aren't the majority. It's how we find the DNC on the wrong side on literally every issue in the zeitgeist. Skreeching minority, backed by the MSM, making folks believe that's how America writ large thinks. All the while, "socialists" like Bernie Sanders and grifters like Nancy Pelosi and all the rest have net worths of hundreds of millions on $250K salaries. It was all right in front of us forever.

When that is going well, money falls from the sky. Paint "End Racism" in the end zone. Cry at George Floyd's casket. Take a knee while wearing African garb. Insist that Target has tuckable swimsuits for trans kids. The whole deal.

Well, go woke, go broke, right? Steven Colbert finally faced the bottom line. The democrats weren't donating to PBS and NPR, the machine was propping them up thanks to billions in government grants. All that money flowing into giving hamsters coke and making them fight and indigenous trans studies in New Guinea didn't need $50M... the democrats pushing the studies did.

Well, the winds shifted. The astroturf fell apart. When USAID got killed, and there was more oversight, magically (seemingly overnight) all these "very popular very important" causes and companies had to face the harsh reality that the left LOVES to SAY they support the thing, but it's all "slacktivism". It's 20 year olds getting likes on their TikTok and not rank and file lefties putting their money where their mouth is, and when the right started boycotting, stopped buying, and voted with their wallets? The house of cards fell.

The American left (all-encompassing) is overwhelming comprised of Latte Liberals; people who want to be credited for "having the right opinion" but not actually doing anything because "doing stuff is like, hard".
It's why a bunch of these causes have mental support as opposed to actual blood/sweat/money support.
