| #4 It's important to remember that for the majority of "professional conservatives, their "conservatism" is indeed a profession, not a cause. |

| #3 Think? Yes as in "thinking up support" for Google Those so called 'think tanks' are really nothing more than thinly veiled PR firms, no actual thinking or research required. Just release BS press releases praising client and watch the dough roll in. |

| #2 Must be nice. You get a big comfortable office and all you have to do is sit around and think all day. How can I get me a job like that? |

| #1 The three biggest conservative think tanks, AEI, Cato, and Heritage, all receive funding from Google. AEI and CATO have “Google Policy Fellows”. All three have recently defended Google against antitrust enforcement. Also of note, CATO is also more or less defending Google and Big Tech on James Damore and censorship. Other right-leaning think tanks that have received Google funding also push Google’s agenda on antitrust. These include: Competitive Enterprise Institute, Mercatus, [and] R Street Institute. No word on where Google got its money, though. |
