Bari Weiss has published a new screed on X.com calling for the MAGA movement to police our ranks and SLOW DOWN all these reckless DOGE cuts that Elon Musk is making.
Weiss is a former Wall Street Journal and New York Times op-ed writer who helped infiltrate and undermine the MAGA movement back in 2017 and 2018, possibly with the help of the intelligence agencies.
The same gang of mysteriously well-funded people are up to their old tricks again. Fortunately, a lot of us who are OG Trump Train members now see through their tired tactics and are calling them out.
Weiss helped to popularize the term “Intellectual Dark Web” when she was working at the New York Times back in 2017. The “Intellectual Dark Web” was a group of (based on her description) super-cool intellectual conservatives of conservatism who were going to help shape the MAGA movement.
As real MAGA supporters were being de-banked and having their YouTube channels shut down without warning, the Ineffectual Dork Web members shot up to amazing success. You couldn’t log onto YouTube without stumbling across videos from Jordan Peterson, Dave Rubin, Dan Crenshaw or the other Dork Web members who were being so heavily promoted by the algorithm.
Many conservatives welcomed the newcomers with open arms and heavily promoted them. Back in those early, naïve days, they thought, “The more the merrier!” If Jordan Peterson was such a hot ticket, why not welcome him into the MAGA movement with open arms? He’s super popular with the young men!
As soon as they had entrenched themselves in the MAGA movement, the Dork Web started telling us how we should police our speech and stop with the mean tweets. Imagine the arrogance of being a brand-new member of any movement or organization that’s met with amazing success and telling them how to run things. That was all part of the plan from the beginning with the Dork Web, though. Slow down the Trump Train.
Jordan Peterson, Brett and Eric Weinstein, Dave Rubin, and the other Dork Web members all said Kavanaugh should drop out of the running for the Supreme Court. They said Kavanaugh should step down even if he was confirmed by the Senate.
Remember Jordan Peterson’s 15 minutes of manufactured fame? He had one viral YouTube clip where he mouthed off to a lady teleprompter reader in Canada and then suddenly he was a household name in the conservative movement. He was the future! He even wrote a super-inspirational book about lobsters and how young men can take control of their lives by cleaning their bedrooms.
Then someone took a look at Jordan Peterson’s first book—the one that wasn’t heavily promoted. The new Champion of Conservatism wrote about how he has a recurring dream of building a paintbrush with his grandmother’s pubic hair and then rubbing it all over his face. He’s also been in and out of rehab for meth since his 15 minutes was up. Some great role model.
The Dork Web also said that the true intellectual conservative response to the Democrats’ racial grievance and identity politics was not for white Americans to vote for their own self-interest. We should just let the Third World overrun our country and then try to convince all our new illiterate cannibal neighbors how to be good conservatives in a “slow and measured” approach.
So, no thanks. We’re not going to pay any attention to the Ineffectual Dork Web’s recommendations that President Trump and DOGE should take a “slow and measured” approach to cutting federal fraud and abuse.
We’ve tried the “slow and measured” approach to getting corrupt federal spending under control for a long time. How did Newt Gingrich’s balanced budget work out? Or Paul Ryan’s? Oh, right. Those slow and measured approaches got demolished by subsequent sessions of Congress and now we’re $35 trillion in debt. Now we’re in charge and we’re cutting the Deep State’s throat by cutting off its funding. Either get the hell out of our way or get smooshed by the bull-DOGEr.
Fortunately, some of the most important MAGA influencers see through the tactics of the Dork Web and the intel agencies. One of the newest “conservative converts” you’ve probably been seeing lately is Lindy Li, who was on Kamala Harris’s campaign just a few seconds ago before suddenly “seeing the light” and becoming a big conservative influencer. Everyone from Shawn Ryan to Glenn Beck has been promoting her.
Laura Loomer saw through Lindy Li’s grift and had her on her show. It didn’t go well for the newcomer Lindy Li. The lesson for all of us is don’t listen to these grifters who only recently saw the light, but now they want to steer the MAGA movement, slow us down, and police our speech.
Watch as Laura Loomer brings Kamala’s campaign manager to tears over her phony conversion to Trumpism:
Last night, @LindyLi came on @LoomerUnleashed to tell the MAGA base why we should trust her despite her long history as a Chinese Democrat operative.
Is @LindyLi MAGA or a mole? I hammered her with questions and receipts LIVE on air.
