Pinko historians and so-called journalists have had an actual crush on the Soviet Union/Russia for the last 70+ years....until it was decided to manufacture a tall tale about Trump collusion with Russia. It’s funny they still have even a smattering of credibility.

Can you imagine how scary it would be to live in a world where your livelihood depended on having the ‘correct’ politics?

Has this writer heard of Hollywood? If you're not a flaming LGBT leftist in Hollyweird; your career just stalled unless you're rich enough and famous enough to bypass the asswipes of that freak town.

The internet was suppose to be the great equalizer. What a huge disappointment.

Conservatives won't fight for it. They play the "Muh private corporashun" card and shrug their shoulders, mostly out of feeble ignorance. I'd bet 75% of the active posters here have never heard of Patreon.

Patreon was squeezed by PayPal who in turn was squeezed by Master Card and Visa.

Patreon, now a half billion dollar company, was started by a musician in San Francisco (Pomplamoose) as a way for him and his singer girlfriend to get paid for the quirky videos they put together. Jack Conte and his company personifies the worst example of the archetypical privileged, white, Bay Area tech zillionaire leftist determined to change the world.

The squeezing is cyclical. Visa and MasterCard are squeezed by the same angry crowds of Leftists who crowdfund Patreon. Again, conservatives are feebly shrugging their shoulders and totally failing to comprehend what is happening here.

This might help you understand...

You Cannot Trust Patreon (#PatreonPurge 1)

The start of the video sets the stage for the portion beginning at ~ 7:10 that addresses the 'sins of Sargon'.

...be warned that at 18:06 until the end you will be treated to the pontificating hubris of Tim Cook.

If Trump should happen to lose in 2020 that will bring about the worst nightmare for the leftists. He will then move all-in for his agenda and we will eventually see Trump Bank, Trump Net, Trumppal, TrumpFace and many others. I am sad because I am in my 70s and will not be around for the chaos and fun.

I think there is a difference between boycotting the extremist ideology of a enemy state in position of influence in our country and that of half the political spectrum.

At this point those communist infiltrators have been so successful using our tax dollars and schools to raise children in the murderous ideology that destroyed their own countries that they could hardly be boycotted at all being nearly half the democratic party.

Its a shame they can’t afford the same respect for free speech that was given to them to their own opposition voices.

This is a very scary situation in all honesty fascism is coming to america and it came from the leftist take over of our schools.
