4 Decades of Koch network libertarianism has all but destroyed the working/middle class while the top 1% became morbidly richer
And they have already succeeded in bringing us back to the days of the robber barons
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue
Under Democrats, New Deal economic equality created a growing economy
America was never more prosperous & the working/middle class flourished. Businesses created new products & and wages grew with the economy
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue
Eisenhower called out the Billionaire's as being negligible in numbers and stupid
But the Koch brothers had already formulated their plan to destroy the new deal economy and replace it with unrestricted capitalism
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue
Billionaires, viewed a strong working/middle class as a threat to their profits
To them the working/middle class was too uppity and how dare we the little people hold them accountable for Taxes/SS benefits/Antitrust
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue
The art of Koch networks misleading messaging came to fruition under Goldwater
They not only promoted “Greed is Good” but packaged it up in the pursuit of liberty. A false premise that all Republicans use to this day
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue
Selling the Koch agenda which is to remove
all regulation from the government,
abandonment of the IRS and Income Tax,
abolishing the EPA, FBI
and all antitrust enforcement
Only benefits 1% of our population
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue
In Reagan Koch libertarians found their man
In 1981, Ronald Reagan was sworn in and implicitly promised to destroy our government because it was the problem, and the Koch network has spent billions to make it happen
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue
GOP lawmakers are paid well by the #KochNetwork
Every elected Republican accepts Koch dark money
And do their damndest to wreck our Govt,
only to turn around and claim Govt is broken and only they can fix it!!
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue
Disguising their true agenda is paramount to the #KochNetwork success

as an example
How in the world does having a gas stove have anything to do with Liberty?
Yet that is what they are selling
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue
The coalition of hate is necessary and targeting low intelligence voters completes their Authoritarian regime agenda
Its the Christian Nationalist/Nazi/2A circle of hate
and is as bad as it sounds

Koch Agenda
Background III
Understanding the Billionaires behind the corporate capture of America
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #DemCast Image
The first step to correcting the path of restoring our Democracy, is recognizing and exposing this Ultra Libertarian plot for America
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #DemCast Image
Orwellian doublespeak is the language of the Koch's and indeed by proxy the language of Republicans today
Anarchist, totalitarianism is what they stand for. Yet they prefer libertarian as it sounds less intimidating

Few understand how The Federalist Society is the Koch/Billionaire judicial wing and much more
As with all organizations in the Koch agenda
Rolling the country back to pre-new deal economics is their only mission
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue
If we’re looking for Reagan’s shining city upon a hill
we won’t find it in America’s now-distant past.
And if it’s what the Koch/Federalists are promising us, we can only hope it’s not in America’s future.
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue
Roe v Wade rollbacks, Education de-funding, Voter suppression are just a part of the scheme of the Federalist Societies agenda
Anything and everything to chip away our freedoms and destroy the progress made since FDR

AstroTurf Organizations within the Koch network each promote issues and advance multiple Koch agendas at once
CRT for example is to undermine public education-promote privatization and enrage their voters to vote R
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #DemCast #ProudBlue Image
Koch libertarians could honestly care less about CRT as an issue, but knowing they could twist the facts, play to the racists and pick up Republicans votes by twisting the CRT message..they went all in in Virginia
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #DemCast #ProudBlue Image
Faux grass roots appearance of the Anti-CRT campaign is another trade mark of Koch networks
However, it doesn't take Herculean effort to uncover the same old billionaires behind the scenes, despite their attempts to hide

Koch Think Tank/Media influence
Think Tanks do not operate independently of the entire network, but mainstream disinformation while creating faux credibility, so issues are promoted thru the whole network at once
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue
Part of what ties the Koch Network together is alumni from the think tanks who now work or own the media.
Right Wing media outlets have been popping up all over the country, seemingly out of thin air for 2 decades now.
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue
In order to operate in the shadows secrecy is paramount
Koch whose father when talking about the secrecy needed to organize the John Birch Society stated “the whale that spouts is the whale harpooned”

Koch Heritage Foundation II
Koch think tanks are integral to the Koch network Creating disinformation to give intellectual cover for Ultra libertarian viewpoints
Seemingly independent, but in reality all connected
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #DemCast #Proudblue
Like its peer groups, Heritage dedicates significant energy to extremist policy recommendations that hinder access to abortion/birth control/ as well as climate change/covid disinformation while promoting Culture Wars
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #DemCast #Proudblue
As an example of Heritage propaganda, while decrying Political narrative they in turn spin the narrative and pivot to society breakdown, religious rhetoric, freedom…anything but the real issue…Lax gun safety regulation

Koch think tanks are integral to the Koch network Creating disinformation to give intellectual cover for Ultra libertarian viewpoints
Seemingly independent, but in reality all connected
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #DemCast #Proudblue
The Heritage Foundation is one of the many Right Wing think tanks supplying an endless stream of misinformation to advance Kochs Neoliberalism and to perpetuate Corporate Capture of our Democracy
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #DemCast #Proudblue
Although all Koch Corporate Capture institutions claim to be independent of each other.
Following the money from Donors trust and others all leads back to Koch and fully support the Koch Agenda for America
