Literally every fraudulent "truth teller" operates like this, including the guy who coined the phrase "manufacturing consent"
The United States is the first and only country in history that has made discriminating against, marginalizing, and ultimately replacing its core demographic a deliberate policy goal and you're not allowed to talk about this except to celebrate it

The GOP in Texas has created the conditions that will ensure the Democratic Party's rise to power in the state. And much of that Texas GOP mindset has transferred into the official MAGA movement via Brooke Rollins' Texas Public Policy Foundation-America First Policy Institute

Trump has placed Susie Wiles, a managing partner at Ballard Partners, in charge of overseeing fundraising and endorsements. Problem is, Ballard has deep ties to the GOP establishment and has made its fortunes lobbying on behalf of state-owned Chinese businesses and interests 1/
Ballard himself was a top fundraiser for John McCain and Mitt Romey, also backed Jeb Bush. Ballard and Susie Wiles have latched onto the Trump movement to continue their grift, and Trump has told people, "Susie is in charge" 2/ rumble.com/vmu4i7-exclusi…
Susie, of course, works closely with Kushner confidant Bill Stepien. There's a lot more and I'm going to be writing an article about this and how it ties into the broader Trump grift that threatens to kill a genuine anti-establishment movement from the right 3/
