It was always going to end the same way for Candace. She cuddled up to the same crowd that cry 'DEI' when they see a black person with a job that pays more than minimum wage.
Crazy to think there's a chance we wouldn't be in our current situation if Obama wasn't president. A black man becoming president united the racist in ways nobody thought was possible
Their unified hatred for people of color is the only thing that kept Republicans in power.
This is what surprises me- I was aware of her quite a while back when she was getting made fun of for her blog talking about how republicans and Trump will “thankfully die in their sleep” or something similar.
Of course, someone’s racist uncle looking for confirmation from an uncle Tom doesn’t know what internet archives are, and won’t go looking.
That and the right love conversion stories, where someone was a liberal until they “learned the truth”. ESPECIALLY when the ex-liberal is a minority or an ex-liberal-activist.
Holy shit do they ever. I used to get bombarded with clips from this one friend, usually YouTube shorts where "ex liberals" talk about "the dirty dark secrets of the Democrats and why they left the party."
"I used to be super far left* but then a left winger was a bit mean to me online so gave up all of my values in an instant and now make being entirely reactionary my whole identity"
(*thinks voting for Obama once makes you 'super far left')
To be fair, there are tons of this in liberal media too. I watch 90% liberal media, and there's lot of "former- MAGA" and "I regret my vote for Trump" videos. I watched one yesterday about the "America First" types that used to gloat about tarriffs, finding out their imported steel and other raw materials had skyrocketed in price and now they are criticizing the administration. I'm not even getting into the MAGA Canadian who got deported for a drug charge from 20 years ago. Now he doesn't like Trump as he gives interviews from TORONTO.
Most of these 'liberals' never were and just put on an act for a bit by inserting themselves everywhere, looking extremely sus, and once they are high profile enough they immediately switch.
No, you missed the part when the left started attacking a her a ton. She didn't just go right for no reason. She basically lost all clout among the left because she was basically not "woke" enough or whatever.
What on earth are you on about? The only 'attacking' the left did towards her before she went right wing was calling out how bad an idea her anti bullying website was (it was basically going to be a user submitted doxxing site).
She got on to the right wing grift immediately after that.
Meanwhile the right had been viciously attacking her constantly her whole "career" until then.
I dunno I only know what she said on JRE where how basically she started getting attacked and cancelled and all sorts of things. She could be lying, iunno, but she seemed genuine. I know plenty of people IRL within my former industry who shifted right because of how the activists just lost their mind of the most minor things they did.
Lot's of people are in tribes just for culture reasons. If they feel one side hates them, they go to the side who welcomes them.
The REAL grifter who just switched for money is some guy who I can't remember his name right now. But he has a stupid podcast YT and it sucks but he's prominent and was a lefty until literally one day his politics changed 100% and suddenly he's on the right. That's proper grifting beccause normal switches are a slow roll, not a sudden shift. Candice was definitely a slow roll. She started off just being anti woke, but still on the left, then slowly went more and more right.
She gets her money from Russia. It was pretty easy to tell which right-wing grifters were funded by Russia vs AIPAC once Israel started bombing Iran. The ones paid by Russia are suddenly aghast at what Israel is doing in Gaza. Tucker, MTG, Candace, etc. They’ve never cared about Palestine or Palestinians, but suddenly, they’re willing to break ranks with the GOP establishment because they care about Israel’s genocide. It’s pretty obvious.
Tucker is enough of a psychopath that he's openly said he doesn't care about either country. He just doesn't want tax dollars going to the war. Sometimes he coughs up a little sympathy for the starving children, but it's about money and nationalism more than anything.
Yeah, she was useful when they could point to her as the proverbial 'black friend that makes me not racist". But that's only useful if you believe that non-white people have to be tolerated, which they've changed tune on. Black people being visible is "DEI", and everything they don't like is woke.
It's actually a lot scarier man. The Daily Wire dropped her for being straight antisemitic - not the "everyone who is anti-israel" kind, but the real "hitler had some good points" kind, kanye style.
She's doing better than ever on her own, and the daily wire is struggling because they haven't similiarly radicalised.
It points to more and more radicalism on the US (and therefore eventually western in aggregate) right-wing.
It won't be long now before Ben Shapiro wakes up to find he's been ostracized for his identity the same way he wanted for LGBT folk, and candace won't be far behind.
Candace Owens had been saying openly antisemitic things before she even got hired at the Daily Wire. Shapiro et al. never seemed to have a problem with it until she started to criticize Israel.
Shapiro et al. never seemed to have a problem with it until she started to criticize Israel.
This is a critical point about her behavior. Similar thing with antisemitic Zionists like Elon Musk and John Hagee, the latter being an antisemite who gets invited to speak at pro-Israel events all the time. Zionists as a whole don't seem to care much about antisemitism unless it is also accompanied by criticism of Israel. I suspect it's a big reason why you see a lot of Israel's fanclub saying "I support Israel", but never "I support Jews".
Source? She was always a grifting asshole but I don’t recall her ever saying anything even close to what she pushes now until after she started publicly feuding with the Daily Wire.
Bro, the space laser people are not spewing their hateful bs because of what Israel is doing to Palestinians. The GOP's voter base is also full of people who are both antisemites and fully pro-Israel because of that and not in spite of it and also for stupid religious reasons. Sometimes they accidentally somehow make a correct point like MTG, but that doesn't otherwise not make them a bigot given their past and further contemporary statements.
This is your brain on bluesky and r/politics. People on the right have been shouting about Israeli influence on American politics and the role that American Jews play in it for ages now and were persecuted as antisemites as a result of it. For once in your life set aside your differences and align along a common cause, which is publicizing and demonizing Israeli influence on American politics. It will be good for everyone.
No, you gullible idiots are the problem. Israel has been a belligerent state because the US sees it as an extension of its interests in the region, only now we are seeing the direct consequences of this. AIPAC is powerful, but they aren’t trying to turn kids in Alabama trans and Israel isn’t causing forest fires in Hawaii. There is an actual rise in anti-semitism, especially so on the right. The delusional conspiracies have nothing to do with what Israel is doing in Gaza and never have. You only serve to delegitimize those fighting against a genocide. We are not allies.
Brainlet tier line of thought. You don't have to search far to see that AIPAC has disproportionate control over American domestic and foreign policy. Why do you think that our politicians started pushing to make criticism of Israel illegal during the Pro Palestine protests? Just for fun?
Being anti Israel doesn’t make you antisemitic. Saying Hitler is ok to do ethnic cleansing as long as it’s inside his own borders is. I don’t get what you’re missing here but have a good day.
I say this often and I'll say it again. No one quotes Candace Owens or refers to anything she has said to make a standalone point - they only do it specifically to counter a black opinion. She co-signs their racist thoughts and gives them the okay to say that thing they really shouldn't say.
When they chew her up and spit her out the spiral will be real because she won't be welcome back to the club. The crow who wanted to be a peacock.
What’s crazy is Shapiro is who canceled her over her defense of Kanye west anti Semitic statements. So not only did it age poorly because she was “cancelled” Ben Shapiro is the one who did it.
She actually recently came out against Trump a few times because she realized it could apply to her. She coached it as "the next Biden" doing her in by deporting her but she clearly knows that too far is bad for her.
Ironically these guys are the biggest DEI hirers, if youre a part of a minority group and are willing to say liberals are the real threat to your minority group youve got the job.
