  It’s become clear that almost every advocacy organization of any kind is no longer principles based and have taken a political approach because it brings in more money. Standing up for unpopular views doesn’t excite the wallets (so ACLU, NRA, etc.)

    If the goal is to suppress the pandemic, then the correct approach would be to shut down MSM and social media like FB, Twitter, etc. That is how the global mass hysteria commonly known as "covid-19" is spread.

  It's true, and and an awful shame to see. I've donated to both the ACLU and been a member of the NRA in the past, and it's very obvious as someone who has received donor requests that both organizations have become captured by the larger political apparatus of a single party. I'm also genuinely not trying to engage in 'whataboutism' with this comment, it just really sucks to see public advocates for both the first and the second amendment, surrender their own positions in favor of becoming wholly partisan.
