1. Projection.

They got sugardaddys, so doesn't everyone ?

[Thekaspervote]

2. Essentially, he's a soft spoken very rich Jewish holocaust survivor..that supports democracy

[oswaldactedalone]

3. He's their favorite bogeyman

All of their failures in life can be attributed to Soros because he donated a few mill to Hillary’s campaign at some point in the past. He’s their wet dream.

[LSFL]

8. Ah I see.

Anti-Semitism.

Man o man.... Don't these people check off all the boxes on the piece of shit bingo card? They even hate themselves I bet

Hillary was right. Basket of deplorables indeed. Remember how mad they got when they found someone who knew what deplorable meant? And then they fooking leaned into it. Proud of the ignorance and bigotry that informs what passes for their thinking, reveling in stupidity.

[TheBlackAdder]

4. Shh. Don't tell anyone, but he's Jewish. It helps his name is three syllables--rubes work in threes.

[In It to Win It]

5. George Soros is an old and extremely wealthy Jewish man, who I assume is a Democrat

but I’m not entirely sure.

Soros has been a contributor toward “left leaning” causes.

Additionally, if anything goes wrong in right wing nut job land, it’s George Soros’s fault.

If a Democrat passes a policy, it’s because George Soros funded it.

If people protest white supremacy, George Soros planted them.

He’s their boogyman.

[BGBD]

6. Because

he gives them a way to blame the Jews without having to explicitly blame the Jews.

[ShazzieB]

17. EXACTLY!!!

Soros' name is a dog whistle that sends them into screaming fits of hate and terror. It's ... weird.

[Willto]

7. He's

a rich guy that unlike most rich people supports the Democratic party instead of the Republican party. To the repukes however he is at the heart of virtually every conspiracy theory they conjure up. The laughable thing is that if Soros actually possessed the omnipotent powers of political manipulation that they credit him with then Republicans would never control the house, the senate or the White house. LOL!

[Elwood P Dowd]

9. George Soros worked for Hitler according to some of Qanon freaks.

Soros was a two-year-old when Hitler took power, and he was nine when Hitler started WWII. Man, that kid sure grew up fast.

[unblock]

14. Of course, most Jews in concentration camps "worked for hitler"

If they weren't immediately killed. They were slave labor camps. Even outside, Jews did what they needed to do to survive. If nazis told a Jew to do an errand for them or they'd kill the rest of their family, guess what, they'd do the work.

So even if there was any truth to it in Soros's case it still amounts to nothing. Just a way to smear him and all Jews.

[LSFL]

12. He must be a nice guy.

If I were a billionaire and wanted to support left leaning causes, I would just hire a bunch of hitmen .

I think I am just kidding. I never gave much thought to being a billionaire.

[Blue Owl]

10. Should be Sacha Baron Cohens next character

[blueinredohio]

11. I would think if George Soros paid for everything the republicans say he does

he wouldn't have a dime.

[unblock]

15. Soros contributes nothing compared to what the Koch brothers do.

[hibbing]

13. He pays me 10k a month to protest j/k

[unblock]

16. lol he paid me double that to walk barefoot from Guatemala all the way to el paso

[UTUSN]

18. Like with pollsters, he's never called me!1

[JHB]

19. As to the second point...

Because they're dumbfucks who ate up what Glenn Beck shit out like it was chocolate who don't know that there are a cluster of conservative/libertarian billionaires who have done precisely the sort of politically-motivated funding they attribute to Soros except in greater quantities, for decades longer, and with more explicitly political intent.

The Koch brothers alone (at least when David was still around) had three times Soros' resources. And that's before adding an entire laundry list of funders.

[bluecollar2]

20. He's the guy that pays me to do stuff

Like go to Biden rallies. Nice guy. Pays $450.00 per hour, time and a half for any hour on the job over 7, paid lunch. Two 30 minute breaks, $150.00 per day per diem, free first class transportation, all laundry service on the road.

Surprised you haven't signed up yet.


Headed down to Georgia next....gonna rent an apartment, register to vote in the Senate runoff...
You should join up....

[NutmegYankee]

21. A Wealthy Jew

You need to read up on the 'Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion', one of histories worst libels, to understand why they believe a wealthy jew is funding the entire left. It was a basis for Nazi ideology, and was used by them to justify the holocaust. The conspiracy is often called the international Zionist conspiracy. In the United States it evolved into the New World Order (NWO) conspiracy. Look it up - NWO+a new form of blood libel is the base of QAnon.

When you here a right-winger in the USA start mentioning George Soros - Assume they are a Nazi.

[Laurelin]

22. In part, I think

it's like the charge the other rich people leveled at FDR: class traitor. It's not like they'd let the Jewish dude into their country club but he's rich and should be spending his money to fight *against* democracy, like they do.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

23. Read his Wikipedia entry.

Amazing life story.

24. Possibly because Putin hates him

Soros's "left-leaning" is pretty damn mild. He is, obviously, extremely pro-capitalism - he made his billions in the money markets. He supported movements for freedom of speech and political freedom in Warsaw Pact countries before the fall of the USSR - thus earning the lasting enmity of those who supported those regimes. Which includes Putin (though I don't know if Putin denounces him openly). Since then, his money has gone to those campaigning for equal rights and similar causes. More sympathetic to Democrats than Republicans, but not, I would have thought at first, enough to make him the devil-figure for rightists.

I find the American right's extreme hatred for him surprising; but I wonder if it was built up by Russian bots on the internet. It is based on all kinds of lies, repeated endlessly until the gullible take them as accepted facts.

[Dirty Socialist]

25. "Soros" is a drinking game

When a Con mentions Soros, you’re supposed to finish your drink immediately.

[Hav]

26. Like it was already said, a boogeyman for the sheep

Similarly, Saul Alinsky was suddenly out of nowhere the major influence for Democrats when most probably didn't know who he was.
