People like my father, who no longer support Trump are pointing to this shit and saying, "See?". When he and people like him think their vote will make the difference in stopping "antifa" from coming to their suburbs to "take their homes", they're going to vote for Trump again after all.

I've had conversations with liberal like minded colleagues and friends and they say, "No one's literally calling to defund the police!" but that is literally is what they mean. Then they tell me, well cops have raped underage girls detained in their squad cars. I'm appalled that we can't punish men who rape women while also having effective law enforcement.

Like with teaching, a huge chunk of the costs of law enforcement are salaries and pensions. There have been so many hit pieces done on evil teacher unions and now that we have DeVos at the helm I really worry for the integrity and stability of my profession. I always thought our Police and Firefighter unions were untouchable as they're the "great heroes" with calendars and special red/blue line flags and everything. But finally here's a way the money tied up in law enforcement salaries and pensions gets released without pissing off law n' order types like my father. Then you put the burden of community policing on the already stretched-thin and poorly compensated social workers. Brilliant, well done.

When Trump was first elected, I had an old, formerly-Liberal, friend, now Trumpkin, tell me that the Woman's March (that I had attended) was funded by Soros. I made fun of my friend and said something like, "Well, my check from Soros must still be in the mail."

But now, seeing how much Soros funds Trans, Inc. internationally (he was the largest donor to transgender causes for years and might still be. Warren Buffett (sp?) son is another big funder of Trans, Inc.,) I'm thinking that my friend might have been partially right, in that I think that a huge portion of the BLM activism (not the protestors themselves, but whatever force is behind the organization) and "Defund the Police", etc., movements are being funded in order to destabilize societies and keep us divided so that we won't rise up against the 0.1%

IMO all of this chaos is being very deliberately created. Identity politics is one of the best ways to keep the masses in turmoil and at each others throats.

Given how much Trans, Inc., is funded by billionaire investors with a financial interest in childhood transition, as well as Big Medicine/Pharma, they might have sucked Democrats into the gender ideology madness to make the Dems look like idiots and lose Independent voters because Trans, Inc., actually wants the GOP to win.

This because the GOP will deregulate medicine/pharmaceuticals and the stock market, so in the long run, a GOP victory means more money to the billionaire class.

It's a game within a game, and the 99.99% are the real losers.

Please be careful about pointing the finger at Soros, it's a common anti-semitic tactic. I agree that like other well-meaning wealthy people he is sending money to causes that hurt women, but linking conspiracy thinking to his name is a really bad move.

Yes, there's a lot of effort going into creating political chaos in the US but I doubt very much it's coming from Soros.

I feel like I'm going bonkers. Any time I heard "Soros" I'd reflexively roll my eyes but these days the back of my mind is nags "...but what if?"

It's what brains do defensively, looking for patterns in the chaos.

But what you're saying is the sober take. It's political chaos for the sake of political chaos and however some people are able to take advantage of that.

I had no opinion of Soros before, beyond thinking that he supported some good causes. For instance, his organization exposed hidden CIA torture sites.

But since I found out about his over-the-top support for transgender activism, I now feel that on the whole Soros is not a good guy. There's an interview on YouTube of Soros talking about helping his captors persecute other prisoners, including Jews, when he was in a concentration camp. That he did it because he himself wanted to survive would have been a bit more understandable, but he didn't put it that way.

My point though was not about any individual billionaire, it was that some billionaires seem to be acting collectively to destabilize societies worldwide, and especially attack women's rights. Women are often the gatekeepers to civilization, so that could be the entire point in taking what little power we have away.
