The video shows Michael Yon making false claims regarding so-called “terrorists coming across the border being funded by Jewish money.” Yon was speaking at a “Take Back Our Border” convoy in Texas.

In the video posted on X, formerly Twitter, the man can be heard claiming that HIAS, a global Jewish nonprofit that works to protect refugees, is responsible for funding terrorists coming to America.

    The muddying of the term is a political attack. How do you stop that? You tell them they’re wrong they tell you you’re a fascist?

      And if you ask what exactly a fascist is, they mumble some shit about woke leftists.

      The dumbing down of people all over the world will be what kills us all.

        While your post isn’t wrong, it’s not suggesting anything to help.

          I have tried multiple ways to talk to my son about this stuff, and the only thing that works is we just don’t talk about this stuff.

          I can’t force people to see truth. Nobody can.

            It’s one of their tactics They co-opt words phrases and symbols and turn them into their grandstanding.

            We don’t do that.

            We don’t have any terms for any of it. Woke in the vernacular is derogatory. Liberals is derogatory. I’m afraid the best we come up with in retaliation is boomers which is utterly insufficient and in many/most cases outright incorrect.

            People are driving around with desecrated flags and punisher logos on their cars. No no those don’t mean the things that they’ve meant forever They mean this now.

            We need to be unified in calling them hatemongers or selfish cowards. But we take the high road and we just kind of let it go when we don’t interact with them because it’s f****** exhausting. And they sling their s*** at us and keep going.
