What is the value of the brand of a "conservative influencer" who now utterly abandons the conservative principles they once espoused?

Here's a powerful passage from my feature article, publishing tomorrow:

The most jarring aspect of America's slide is the breathtaking hypocrisy from those who once championed liberty. The core of the conservative movement's support was long rooted in a perceived allegiance to the Constitution, particularly the Second Amendment. That trust was shattered following the Alex Pretti incident, as President Trump appeared to dismiss the fundamental right to bear arms. [6] This betrayal reveals a fundamental conservative red line.

The same voices that rage against government overreach, that cite the Fourth Amendment against unwarranted searches, now cheer as immigration agents operate with bounty-hunter-style squads, pulling people over without probable cause. [7] The principles of due process, small government, and constitutional rights have been discarded for partisan tribalism. Influencers and politicians who built their brands on opposing the Deep State and defending free speech now advocate for the very state violence they once condemned, simply because their team currently holds the leash. This exposes a dangerous truth: for many, the commitment was never to principle, but to power. The weaponization of agencies like ICE and the expansion of state surveillance powers under Trump will not be dismantled; they will simply await a new master.

The boomerang effect is a law of political physics. The Insurrection Act, once invoked against one group, sets a precedent for its use against any group. The 'ninja squads' in tactical gear, the expanded SWAT teams, and the legal justifications for extrajudicial action form a toolkit for tyranny that is party-agnostic. [9] Conservatives who today celebrate federal agents targeting sanctuary cities may tomorrow find themselves labeled domestic terrorists or insurgents by a hostile regime. This cycle of arming the state against political enemies guarantees an escalation into outright political violence. The apparatus built for 'immigration enforcement' or 'counter-terrorism' can easily be repurposed for 'countering extremism' or 'ensuring compliance,' with the definition of 'extremism' shifting with the political winds.

Silver just hit $131 / oz. in Shanghai, for physical silver. Gold is about to hit $5600.

Yes, the dollar is collapsing in real time. And it's accelerating by the day.

No, Trump will never tell you that's happening. The job of the White House is to keep you in the dark for as long as possible so the wealthy elite can make all the right moves without you getting in the way.

If you are smart, you will stop trusting the propaganda out of the White House and stack as much gold and silver as you can before the music stops.
