I recently became a Founding Member. I have never given a dime to any podcaster. But this different. This is real action in real time.

I am here doing my homework now in an effort to become a volunteer.

During episode #440 something remarkable occured.

My aunt was radicalized in the late 50's and I never really understood that.

In the late 80's ELF firebombed a US Forestry Products building in Medford OR on Whittle Ave. I grew up about 100 yards from there and even got busted once for starting up and joy riding one of their 4 wheeler ATV with my neighborhoid friends. The ELF hit that place because that's where all the clear cutting and strip logging contracts that ran through.

I lived in Seattle for 27 years and never once felt a part of that community and watched it slip into madness in a very abrupt way. Now I know why. Because of one or two seemingly innocuous comments you made during Episode #440 tied all these once compartmentalized examples into one coherent quilt work. You pulled a thread that slammed it all together in mere moments. That's when I realized this is where I need to be. I left all the conservative, rabbit hole and conspiracy influencers knowing damn well they are why I still have questions.

I'm here for it.

The Rise of the Red Menace.

I was on you tube as Ron Patterson until I became a Founding Member, then put up a profile pic and changed my handle to Oregon Born.

See you in the chat Dr. Karlyn.

After watching both of these videos I understand how I was mistaken in previous comments made on another post. The weakness of the left is the truth and the spread of it. As I mentioned elsewhere, when I was the California College Republican President for DeVry Pomona, 20 years ago, I attempted to listen to the left (KPFK, So Cal University radio stations, and Air America) to really understand their perspective but the language was coded and difficult to do. For anyone reading this, try listening to the Democracy Now podcast and one thing will become evident we are speaking an entirely different languages and Karlyn does an amazing job of breaking this all down.

The way that Karlyn presents the topic of sex, gender, and nuclear family is powerful. As a conservative , I have been a supporter of Blair White and Buck Angel's view of not allowing children to have access to puberty blockers or transitioning minors. However, I haven't heard either of them discuss sex, gender, and the goal of dismantling the nuclear family. Their focus is on how transitioning will hurt the child not how the left views parenthood as a part of Capitalism.
