After turning away from left-wing politics, a former Antifa activist and Democratic politician are launching a new campaign to challenge what they see as pervasive anti-Americanism among the country’s youth.
Gabriel Nadales, an Antifa protester turned conservative activist, and Barrington Martin II, a former Democratic congressional candidate, launched a half-million-dollar ad buy last week through their new group Our America, aimed at empowering young people across the United States to “celebrate a pride in, connection to, and a responsibility for our community and country.” The organization, whose advisory team includes conservative commentator Deroy Murdock, will also spend $2 million to produce online content that promotes what they say are America’s unifying values: patriotism, freedom of expression, respect, dignity, and equal opportunity.
“Our America is specifically here to give people the full faith and confidence to be able to speak confidently about why they love this country,” Martin, who primaried the late Democratic congressman John Lewis (Ga.) in 2020, told the Washington Free Beacon. “When I say ‘I love this country, it’s one of the greatest gifts in the world,’ you shouldn’t scoff at me when we are all Americans.”
Must have read a book on baghdad bob…
I don’t buy it!
Any effort, especially one targeting the politically agnostic critically thinking challenged generation, to instill or promote the American values of patriotism, self-determination, and individual responsibility, I’m all for.
Although the reception of this message is going to require skills this generation has so far not demonstrated. 18 plus years of institutional indoctrination and the present culture have taught them America is not honorable or something to be proud of. It’s going to take a genuine concerted pursuit of the truth, to open one’s brain with more reliable information. This may be a bridge too far.
Weird how these new parties are popping up, like the horribly named “Forward” party, featuring disillusioned bipartisan Dems and GOPers, and now this also horribly named “Our America” party (too redolent of “Our Democracy” for me) which already has the bank to “spend $2 million to produce online content”.
I agree with Reloader 83: there’s something fishy, and possibly astroturfy, going on here. Like an attempt to muddy the waters—or siphon them off of— the coming Red Wave and beyond that, the 2024 election. Don’t believe the hype. Stay the MAGA course.
Skunks don’t lose their stink overnight…..
This is how its been done for decades folks. Read the room, learn what voters crave, get elected and do the complete opposite. Meet the new Boss, same as the old Boss..
Infiltration…
Don’t fall for this crap. People who flip 180 degrees cannot be trusted.
Notice they’re doing this themselves. Not supporting any of the many groups that already exist.
Once Antifa.
If I put on a toupee am I once bald?

And red commies didn’t switch to green whackos overnight either.
