KEVIN ROBERTS (HERITAGE FOUNDATION PRESIDENT): In spite of all this nonsense from the left, we are going to win. We’re in the process of taking this country back. No one in the audience should be despairing.
No one should be discouraged. We ought to be really encouraged by what happened yesterday. And in spite of all of the injustice, which, of course, friends and audience of this show, of our friend Steve know, we are going to prevail.
Number two, to the point of the clips and, of course, your preview of the fact that I am an early American historian and love the Constitution. That Supreme Court ruling yesterday on immunity is vital, and it’s vital for a lot of reasons. But I would go to Federalist No. 70.
You know if there were ever a group of people that deserved to fully understand what it means to be firebombed it’s the fucking heritage foundation.
The federalist society is right there with them.
Don’t forget the John Birch society
Id also add PragerU to that list, though thats mostly cause they are dangerous and annoying.
They for sure belong but I think they are mostly powered by the other think tanks mentioned
Its an incestuous relationship between them, they feed into eachother. If it wasnt for PragerU and similar propagandistic groups the upper think tanks would be a lot weaker in influence, then once they have more power they immediately dump it into the propagandists who can spread their influence farther
Im personally in the if you wipe out the propaganda arms ya will have an infinitely easier time, Fox, OAN, PragerU, and talk radio as a whole not to mention Youtubers are basically the only thing maintaining the on the ground elements of the Right wing. They fet bored easily and would probably just do boring normal crap if you stripped away the propaganda, hell they may get happier in some cases a car parts store in my area changed out fox news on the TV in favor of a super playlist of youtube videos going over old weird cars like Yugos and Polskis. This has limited the rightwing grousing in there.
100% agree with you, only contention I would make is that none of those propaganda outlets would exist without the societies that preceded them by a few decades. But from a dismantling their power perspective you are quite on point about destroying their implements of radicalization
Yeah I dont care about the predecessor groups since in most ways the gsme has changed since then. Theyre still dangerous but well its easier to fight a bobcat after youve dealt with the mountain lion.
