    the heritage foundation is a lot less scary to me than black rock, chase, meta, alphabet, and the actual fucking government (fisa courts, nsa spying, international spying agreements, criminalizing protests).

    this is all shit that already threatens us. the heritage foundation didn’t make this happen: america is fascist, and they are just cheerleaders.

      You don’t think that they had anything to do with the half-century-long backslide into dominionist authoritarianism? They have playing the long game, and it’s happened because they had the patience to make it happen at a frog-boiling pace, and we only paid attention when they said the quiet parts out loud.

      Who the hell do you think developed the Reagan doctrine? They’ve had a heavy hand in tons of policy making, both domestic and foreign, for as long as I’ve been alive. All those other groups you’ve mentioned are just bolstering their influence, helping to get their bidding done.

      I must say I’m rather flabbergasted by this comment. You’re not worried about the Heritage Foundation. You are however worried about the people who fund the Heritage Foundation and the Endeavors the Heritage Foundation seeks to achieve?

        The government doesn’t fund the heritage foundation. Facebook doesn’t find the heritage foundation. Google doesn’t fund the heritage foundation. who is it that you think funds the heritage foundation?

          Well that’s weird cuz Heritage Foundation is a big part of that. It’s the judicial arm.
