Is the elimination of USAID responsible for this?
Washington Post ^

1. The Left collapses in Latin and South America

2. Far fewer kids claim to be Alphabet people

"a recent analysis of federal data indicates a sharp decline in the percentage of young American teenagers identifying as lesbian, gay, or bisexual. According to a October 2026 report by The Washington Post and an analysis by psychologist Jean Twenge on her Substack Generation Tech, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows a significant reversal of previous upward trends."

3. (C)rap suddenly collapses

"Rap and hip-hop experienced a historic commercial downturn, marked by a complete absence of rap songs in the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 for the week of October 25, 2025—the first time the genre has been completely shut out of the top 40 since February 1990."

Joe Rogan, Mike Benz and others have talked about this

4.Suddenly Democrats have raised far less money than Republicans after having massively out raised Republicans for years and years.

Suddenly Democrats have raised far less money than Republicans for the first time in years and years.

“Democrats remain far behind GOP in cash on hand as midterms near” With the midterms less than a dozen weeks away, the Republican National Committee continues to boast a massive cash advantage over its Democratic counterpart, according to Federal Election Commission disclosures made by both committees on Wednesday.

All of this within 1-2 years of USAID and its $20 billion + budget being taken out. It seems awfully strange for all of this to be just coincidence. The Global left suddenly starts taking it in the shorts everywhere.....

Trump defunded them b/c DOGE said $20B tax dollars to USAID was of no benefit to the US.

Now leftist govts in Ecuador, Bolivia, Honduras, Chile, Costa Rica, Peru, Columbia and Brazil are free-market oriented.


So nice to see a plan work.

Well, the DNC money loss is around ActBlue’s scrutiny.

Why does the world need the USAID to “aid” the world?

What about ChinaAid or RussiaAid or ArabAid or EuroAid?

I’ve also seen reports that teens claiming to be “gay or transgender” has dropped by a significant amount in. just one year.

We do not realize how much we are manipulated.

And remember, ALL of this is paid for by printed-fiat money and massive government debt and spending.

Fix our money - and you automatically fix our society.

No 2020 'Summer of Love' scale protests in an election year either.

I wouldn't get too comfortable. The people who used that money are still lurking about, waiting.

I don’t know why DOGE didn’t do anything. Didn’t they discover the USAid theft?

kids identifying as gay was a trendy thing.

They never believed they were gay and 99% were never truly attracted to the same sex, they simply were taught to say that they loved “everyone” to avoid being called a bigot.

“So nice to see a plan work.”

President Trump, if he were a narcissist as people claim, would be touting this. But he isn’t a narcissist. He knows this was his doing

And it was

The WAPO won’t mention his name in this. No matter. It was him. More to come.

Not any more. Why do people yell about getting $5,000 when they’ve been going into debt for this crap?

The media says DOGE didn’t do anything. That’s not the same as ‘DOGE didn’t do anything’

It could also be true that USAID was funneling money into the DNC coffers as well, and using voter rolls along with ActBlue to lauder that money to make it seem as if the donations were genuine.

While the schme was being exposed by people who are Democrats who were being informed of their donations through ActBlue, by conservative activists and the donors denials of them being even able to afford those donation amounts.

The Democrats are crooks nad liars. They got away with that scheme for decades, but sooner or latr the truth eventually becomes exposed.

The US Agency for International Development (USAID) is not a charity organization.

Also, bandaid is not a charity concert for aging rockers who spent all their money.
