18. Thank you for the Koch links. They've been at this since the early 60's

The John Birch Society began with a big push from the Koch family.
JBS has always hated Democracy. Not just regular hate, but insanely deep & ruthless type of hate.

They absolutely despised JFK & the Kennedy family, RFK, MLK, Civil Rights, Blacks, Democrats...the US Constitution & after being sent underground for their anti-US ideology, eventually broke into fringe groups like Libertarians, etc & eventually the Tea Party.


And here we are today.

John Birchers/Kochs never ever stopped in their mission to destroy the Democratic Party & the US Democratic Republic, & the US Constitution.
They just reorganized their hate of Democracy into fringe groups throughout the years & the fruits of their labor is evident today.
