1. So is Beau of the Fifth Column for or against tRump?

Fifth Column suggests someone trying to destroy America from within. So are we watching him to know what the enemy thinks or is he neutral and trying to undermine the REICH WING?


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_column
A fifth column is any group of people who undermine a larger group from within, usually in favor of an enemy group or nation.

2. The latter option. nt

Beau of the Fifth Column Interview Highlights
On How He Started His Channel

“I was an independent journalist, and we realized that there was a lot of metaphorical gate-keeping in journalism. So there’s a story that says, ‘This General’s approaching this city, and he’s got a column coming from the north, south, east, and west. And a fifth column inside the city ready to open the gates.’ And that’s where the term came from. There were a whole bunch of us that used it in, I guess, 2015, 2016, in that range. And it just stuck with me.

5. Too bad he picked a term that literally means, "enemy within" as his moniker.

The Press is seen as "THE FOURTH ESTATE" so the final balance of powers by keeping the light of the truth focused on the political dealings of our leaders so we can make correct decisions about who stays and who goes.

What he says makes sense and seems more neutral as far as he isn't pushing an agenda, but part of me wonders if what he says doesn't give fuel to both sides.

IF by doing this he was attracting independent type Republicans that don't want to be "against" their own party, maybe it helps.

But it almost sounds like, he's sympathetic to TFG. Former President Trump is in trouble. He sure is.

Dunno. In these cases the truth comes out eventually.

He chose a bad moniker if he wants anyone to trust what he says though.

6. LOL

he isn't pro oranganus in any way. his views lean anarchist/local community independence and interdependence. his discussions are factual based on his experience (ex military, journalist). he is an adult and sometimes says things people might resist due to their own biases.

watch that interview if you want to know more about where he is coming from. it is pretty good.

[TigressDem]

7. I do watch his videos.

What stood out to me is that he is very respectful of tRump. Which I suppose kudos to him for professionalism...

But a few times said that TFG is in trouble with a concerned tone.

There are people who are ready for Civil War and that sounded a little bit like a dog whistle to me.

There are a lot of people (my son included) calling themselves independent but ready to take up their guns if needed.

A fifth column is a group within willing to let outsiders invade a safe place. Someone who was trusted enough to pass through the gates, but betrayed them.

I have seen TFG Dubbya behave as a decent human being a few times.

I am impressed with Pence standing up on `Jan 6th and doing the right thing.

I see Liz Cheney as someone loyal to her oath even if I disagree with a lot of her other politics.

Not sure where to place Beau.

Time will tell.

8. I think what you are seeing as "respectful" of dump is just refraining from calling him names

watch his facial expressions. he doesn't respect much of anybody in national politics but knows the rules and is realistic about what can and can't happen.

[TigressDem]

9. Could be. Got an open mind.

But I am not of the belief that we would be better off living in anarchy.

So if that is his goal, it's like watching the Cheneys. I know we are allies at this point, but I don't expect it to really last.
