Curious about the recent conservative backlash against the FBI and CIA? Let’s delve into the reasons behind this surprising shift in sentiment.
Political Polarization
– Conservatives believe that these agencies are biased against them
– Some view them as part of the “deep state” working against conservative interests
Allegations of Misconduct
– Controversies surrounding past actions by FBI and CIA officials
– Calls for accountability and transparency in agency operations
Loss of Trust
– Growing skepticism towards government institutions
– Disillusionment with perceived lack of effectiveness and neutrality
Conclusion:
As the political landscape continues to evolve, it’s crucial to explore the underlying factors influencing public perceptions of government agencies like the FBI and CIA. Stay informed and engaged to make sense of these complex dynamics. #stayinformed #government #publicperception
Because they used resources to look for a stolen diary.
They don’t, that’s just what the criminally corporatized media portrays to shape people’s thinking. FBI and CIA officers have a long history of assassination and corruption against ethnic populations, but that doesn’t speak for every member, that speaks for the CO’s.
Because it’s politically convenient. You can bet that the next time they’re in control, their position on the DOJ, FBI, and CIA will do an immediate 180°. They have no principles, and what they believe depends entirely on whether or not they’re in power.
I would consider my self conservative, I have never liked federal agencies, I don’t even like our own federal government.
Now?
I think everyone should hate the 3 letter agencies since Ruby Ridge and Waco.
Dunno why it has became political to be against agencies that only want to strip you of your rights and there’s zero recourse to holding them accountable for their actions.
Because conservatives lack any fixed set of morals or principles. They pay loyalty to individuals first and will abandon America in favor of hostile foreign nations if it seems beneficial to themselves
Because the FBI and the CIA exist to protect the United States government and mostly conservatives are the seditionists at this moment in time.
The CIA and FBI have been involved in numerous operations that have directly targeted and harmed the American people. This shouldn’t be a conservative thing. I don’t know why liberals also don’t hate the CIA/FBI
Now?
OP must be 12.
Because conservatives don’t respect laws.
Because Trump cried that they were picking on him
FBI: Ruby Ridge was the beginning. The failure to act on a tip that the 9/11 hijackers sought pilot training but weren’t interested in learning how to land was an abysmal error. Then Peter Strzok insisted on derailing the Trump presidency at the outset. Recent investigations of Catholics who want the church to return to the traditional Latin Mass as extremists.
CIA: Aldrich Ames, flawed WMD intel pertaining to Iraq, overthrowing Ukraine’s government in the Maidan revolution.
Failures and abuses should concern everyone whether your politics are lefty or righty.
Because their Orange Messiah is a criminal.
Nobody really likes control from their government. Regardless of your political views. Liberals hated it when the government told certain people they couldn’t marry other certain people. Conservatives hate when the government tells them what they are and are not allowed to say.
And the FBI and CIA are kinda the agencies that police these things.
It’s cyclical. In the early to mid 90s, conservatives didn’t like the FBI.
Their lord and savior is a criminal and those institutions are attempting to hold him accountable.
They’re accusing them of going after conservative politicians in some sort of witch hunt. The irony is that they would restore their faith in those institutions if they exclusively went after their political opponents.
I’ve always disliked our government… most of my liberal friends do as well. Cia and fbi are not trustworthy. Our Government has experimented on its own citizens, gave people syphilis, gave weapons to all sorts of people, funded drugs in lower income areas, and do it all with my tax money all while our infrastructure and education system fall apart. If you trust the government I have beach property in Arizona to sale you.
Their king told them to.
too much power, who knows what they want, everyone should hate them
It’s cyclical. When you’re not the party in charge, they’re “interfering with politics for political purposes.” When you are in charge, “they’re just doing their job”
Feels like just yesterday Democrats were calling for FBI Director Comey’s head for re-opening the investigation into Hillary’s emails. And back and forth the pendulum swings
Ruby ridge
Not all of us do.
It’s more accurate to say that *Trumpers* hate the FBI & CIA, because Trump told them that the FBI and CIA were part of a conspiracy to destroy his presidency, insofar as they were investigating the various Russian-spy-adjacent individuals (Manafort, Stone, etc) associated with his campaign.
Because this investigation did not result in a ‘Donald, in the reading room with the SVR agent’ dead-to-rights result, it has been framed as a hoax… It’s not, but they like to call it that…
They are further pissed that the FBI/DOJ raided Trump’s home (the whole looking for stolen classified documents thing? They don’t care), and that he is being prosecuted for various crimes (which they consider a political hit-job).
As someone who voted Republican his entire life *before* 2016, it’s all bullshit. Trump sucks, he’s not even conservative, and cults-of-personality are craaaazzzzyyyypants insane….
Because their politicians and supporters are all committing shit loads of crimes and they don’t like that the FBI is holding them accountable.
Because they’re going after the right people.
Because they were told to in the latest patch
its politics. you aren’t helping make me better you can go burn.
Bc trump is blaming the government for his breakng the law, and because the right has spiralled further and furtber into ‘alternate facts’ and obsession with conspiracy theories, many of which are russian and blame the cia or ‘deepstate’
Easy: Authoritative undermining of institutions to ease consolidation of power.
They never liked them?
Both political parties will shift their opinions about certain people or things based upon the actions of that person or thing, not really anything new.
Which, i mean, is kinda just how humans work in general?
It comes down to whatever their “leaders” say. Currently since trump is raging against DOJ then your local repressed billionaire has to also rage otherwise they won’t be able to please the people they idolize.
my conservative neighbor even took his flag down
Such a weird contradiction, how conservatives love law-enforcement, but hate the ATF, FBI and CIA. Most likely because they ARE the local law enforcement focusing on crimes that mostly affect other demographics. meanwhile federal agencies are more likely to crack down on white collar, crimes and those abusing positions of power and influence
…why do liberals love them?
Ruby ridge.
Too much of an influence.
Their cult leader said so. They must obey their orange king. His words are the only truth they know. lol.
“Because in their desperation to regain the power they feel they are losing, they are increasingly sliding into lawlessness, and lawless people despise law enforcement.
Because Trump is a criminal who is likely owned by Russia. Thus, they hate law enforcement because they want Trump not to have legal trouble and they hate the CIAs counterintelligence work for roughly the same reason. Trump good, threats to Trump bad.
Conservatives love cops but not when they’re fbi because they’re mostly honest cops.
Conservatives think whatever Russia, China and North Korean misinformation campaigns want them to think.
Because they have a criminal as the head of their party.
I’m a lefty sort of guy, but I can fully understand the fiscal conservative “have the government spend less money” republican from 15 years ago. I disagree on policy but I get where those guys were coming from.
But the modern right. My word. What is going on guys? Get your house in order. You used to at least pretend to be the party of law and order. But now they literally beat police officers with a thin blue line flag. Irony is dead.
Because majority of concervatives are boomers who were your rebels in the 60s. They have these issues – distrust in government and issues with authority. On top of that they have paranoia as the side effect of all the drugs they had been taking in their youth. So here we have it – paranoid conservatives.
Because they killed John.F Kennedy!
Touch grass. Conservatives aren’t a monolith. Many of them do not hate the FBI or the CIA
