It's funded by billionaires like the Kochs, Mercers, and Waltons to make America a theocratic oligarchy. The Heritage foundation is one of the original quiet, evil "think tank" that generates conservative talking points. Ever wonder why conservatives all share the same talking points? It's coordinated by the Heritage Foundation.

Heritage is always code word for white supremacy too when you think about it. Confederate "heritage not hate" bullshit too.

Well yeah. They're Republicans.

The answer is money. It's hard to invest in Iran but easier in Russia. Both are right wing governments, but Russia is more open to outside money.

I bet people at the Heritage Foundation have bought Russian bonds on the cheap or have business contacts there. It's that simple.

They see Russia as the perfect model to be. 2 classes: the elite and the peasants that know their place. Heavy Christian control. Illegal to be gay or trans. The elite can do whatever they want whenever they want and the peasantry has to suck it up. No one's investigating them. No court is gonna hold them accountable. All you gotta do is kiss the ring of the Top Guy so he doesnt have you thrown out a window or make special Tea.

If I was a rich Republican I too would want to be like a Russian Oligarch.

“No matter what, I side with Putin”….

To echo the words of our current President "C'mon man...". If what you said was true then the overwhelming majority of Republican politicians wouldn't keep voting to send Ukraine more weapons and more money.

You poke fun but this is where the real evil happens. This is the powerful elite coming together to manipulate the fuck out of reality, because, yes, they're that rich.

Scheme hatching tank? Mustache twirling tank? Hunched skulking tank? Atrocity enthusiasts tank?

"Ok guys, how can we continue to keep all the power and the money?"

"The usual way, keep the poor fighting to survive from all angles."

"Good job guys!" eats baby

You have to admit it’s a bit catchier than “Room of Blowhards Making Shit Up for Useful Idiots”

Well they do think a lot about how to destroy democracy and cement the power of oligarchs.

They don't use well reasoned arguments to justify what they're doing but don't assume they're dummies.

Heritage helped climate change denial a lot iirc.

Propaganda generator

Don't discount them as dumb.

They spend a lot of time and money spreading propaganda. Yes, the arguments they use in their propaganda don't stand up to reason. But that's not the target. The target is emotions.

They don't need reasonable arguments if they can get their base worked up.

But yeah, propaganda generator would be more accurate. But again, they know what they've doing and it's a mistake to discount our enemies as dumb. Even if we can see how irrational and emotionally charged their arguments are, their base can't.
