        Here is his twitter feed. https://twitter.com/dbongino

        It seems like he is plugged into the very freshest of Republican talking points. I was looking for a tweet I could post here to make fun of, but its all gas-lighting stuff that I haven't seen before. This would be a good feed for us to be aware of and defend against. Because he is feeding ammo to the right-wing.

      I know we're not supposed to make fun of people's physical appearances but that is one of the goofiest looking MFs I've ever seen.

      What the fuck. He looks like he heard 'don't fit a square peg in a round hole' and then tried to do the reverse using his head.

    This tells me just how concentrated the conservative media ecosystem is. Non-fascists would never all post repeatedly from the same source or hashtag. We're way too diverse, spread out ideologically and by the nature of thinking for ourselves and challenging authority, to varying degrees, we believe different information sources. This on the other hand shows us, not only that the right is concentrated, but it shows who is spreading the propaganda. I see 6 people/organizations on that list:

    1. Fox News
    2. Trump
    3. Ben Shapiro
    4. Dan Bongino (never heard of him. Lets find out who he is, shall we?)
    5. Sean Hannity
    6. Franklin Graham (never heard of him.)

      You've never heard of Franklin Graham, Billy Graham's son? He's got his finger on the evangelical pulse of the republican party.

      Billy Graham was the "spiritual advisor" to every president from Truman to Obama.

      Look these bastards up, they've had a considerable influence on American foreign and domestic policy.

        I actually haven't. But I never lived around very religious people. So I have never had much reason to listen to these people. But after looking up Bongino and now this guy, I'm starting to see the different roots that feed this conservative media bubble. Its a real monster.

        One thing I loved about the old CTH subreddit was the quick response building to these right-wing talking messages. These voices above are the vanguard of the fascist movement, constantly coming up with explanations for current events that make Trump look good, and feeding them to their base. Its how the base stays in their bubble. They get this information before liberals or the left can get in. It shields them. So, the faster we can come up with take-downs to these sources, the more able we can be to gain ground on the information war.

    Ben Shapiro has so much money backing him that he made the top 10 list twice.

    This btw is why I don't think we can have a revolution today - it would always turn fascist with all these people with brainworms.
