The New York Times reports that a Democratic-aligned group, Project Bullhorn, paid more than 100 creators through SideShift to flood social media with “affordability” content ahead of the 2026 midterms.

$25–$30 PER VIDEO.

Many didn’t disclose they were being paid. Some weren’t even from the states they claimed to represent. One Utah resident posed as a Texan, while a creator in England claimed to be from Texas.

And remember how every time you opened TikTok, it felt like “affordability” videos had completely taken over your feed?

IT WASN’T YOUR IMAGINATION.

Democrats literally paid creators to manufacture what was supposed to look like organic grassroots outrage.

They wanted you to believe regular Americans were naturally flooding social media with outrage over affordability when there was an organized, paid campaign behind the content.

And they wonder why people don’t trust the left. THIS is exactly why.

25 to 30 bucks is pretty good money you could buy 2 things off the value menu from McDonald’s with that

“Affordability” has pretty much always been a talking point of the Left.

Not really, they do a hit piece on Democrats every so often so they can pretend to be journalists. It gives them something to point to and say, see we are balanced. Ignoring that 95% of their content is written by lefties and pro Dem.

I believe it. Nothing that there isn't any reason not to, but I really don't feel like it's that much harder to live than it was before the Iran war. It was really hard there for awhile a couple of years ago. Now, it's not easy by any stretch, but my family is getting by. Some things we just don't do anymore, but I don't know if that's based solely on the economy. I.e. concerts or sporting events, it's the resale market fees that price us out of that, that's just greed, not the economy.

And? I think most people would agree things are high without getting paid.

Yes, social media is full of propaganda and the dolts on this board eat it up.

You see that crap everywhere else also. Page after page of morons whining about how everybody was living high on the hog in 1970 or 1980 and now they have to live in poverty. This is despite an almost endless amount of data proving Americans are infinitely better off than they were 50 years ago as those of us who were around back then can attest. You see some of that nonsense on here which is probably the result of easily propagandized idiots believing what they read.

Other than violently attacking people that disagree with them and having sex with trannies, there is nothing the left likes more than gaslighting and astroturffing the general public.

I would do it if I were them. Cost of living sucks right now, of course they’ll exploit it.

I was told we’re not allowed to criticize Jews. Project Bullhorn is run by Jason Berkenfeld.

Stand down.

We're at approximately 725% inflation from when the US took itself off the gold standard in favor of the Imperial Federal Reserve's imagination currency valuation. (Some economists offer figures closer to 3,000% when looking at the total money supply in circulation.)

Dear folks with season tickets in Knoxville: All inflation is CUMULATIVE. An inflation report saying that inflation is 3.9% last month means that the Dollar lost 3.9% of its purchasing power since the PREVIOUS MONTH.

It's not that goods/services are getting less expensive - the Federal Reserve Notes that cosplay as the US Dollar have lost purchasing power. You need more of their imaginary pieces of paper because it's worth less than the month before.
