David Hogg’s anti-gun group misfires and collapses…
Revolver News ^ | April 15, 2025

The left has gone so far off the rails, even their own pet projects are crashing and burning. When you push radical nonsense long enough, eventually the donors dry up, the base checks out, and the circus tent folds up and collapses. Well, that’s exactly what’s happening with David Hogg’s once-hyped anti-gun group, March for Our Lives.

...

What started as a media-fueled movement is now just another fading left-wing activist project that’s gasping for air. Turns out, screaming about gun bans and calling half the country “terrorists” isn’t a smart or sustainable business model. Who knew?

The group just announced that it’s laying off nearly all its staff—meaning 13 out of 16 full-time employees are getting the boot. The group is citing “financial challenges.”

It appears they’re desperately trying to restructure. Their new executive director is a 24-year-old Parkland survivor and original co-founder, who now says things would’ve looked different if Trump hadn’t won.

In other words, the group tied itself to a losing agenda, donors bailed, and now they’re bleeding cash faster than you can say “Hogg Beast.”

...

this collapse isn’t just about bad fundraising—it’s about bad messaging, bad leadership, and a movement built on emotion instead of reality.

David Hogg’s group chased the headlines, lost the plot, and now it’s running out of money and relevance. Turns out, when you spend more time preaching than telling the truth, even your own side stops listening and funding the fake fight.

I am of the opinion that as sources of my taxpaid money dry up, more of these scumbag organizations will go belly-up.

Too bad the people that allow my money to be spent like this on organizations bent on destroying this country won’t be punished too.

“says things would’ve looked different if Trump hadn’t won.”

Yeah, they would have been given a two billion dollar federal grant like Stacy Abrams.

Agreed—a lot of government funds flowed to these organizations in both direct and indirect ways.

Example: Government grants make a lefty donor rich. Government grants are stopped. Lefty donor is in financial difficulty so more donations.

My son is in college with some guys (and girls) that were there, at Parkland HS when the SHTF. David Hogg is not a liked individual. He doesn’t show his face around Parkland. He’s known there as the coward and grifter that he is.

Missed the important part: the whole thing was 16 people trying to tell 350 million people what to do. This *is* the left in a nutshell, wackos who would be on street corners except for MSM and tax dollars grift.

Their secret funding coming from USAID is gone.
Only the first of many to start collapsing.

To be fair, I think he was. As I understand it, after the shooting everyone went home, but after school there was some sort of spontaneous gathering at the school that he heard about and biked back to the school. That said, he was one of several hundred ‘survivors’. Do all of them get to carry the designation for the rest of their lives?
