Debanking is a conspiracy theory that's been around since Obama. A bank refuses to give loans to risking business proposals and the far right conspiracy theorists, including Pedo Don himself, claim the ones that were right winged are being biased against. Notice they don't whine about the LW ones. LOLMy remaining brother lives in Texas. Due to a number of health problems (he is 82 now), he doesn't leave his house much and watches daytime TV all the time, including Fox. The other day he asked me if I was worried about "debanking." I asked WTF was that. According to what he heard -- probably on Fox -- banks across the country are canceling the accounts of conservatives. Seriously. I am not sure if he believed it though, since he brought it up in kind of a trollish fashion. I just laughed and said that it would be illegal and how would your bank know your political flavor anyways? They're there to make money. They aren't going to cancel accounts and let the customer go elsewhere with his funds, Sheesh.
But yep, that's where Toxic gets her "information," along with thousands of other gullible morons.
What to know about the fight over ‘debanking’
by Julia Shapero - 02/09/25 2:23 PM ET“Debanking” has become an increasingly popular talking point for Republicans in recent weeks, as they take aim at Biden-era regulators who they accuse of boxing conservatives and cryptocurrency firms out of the financial system.
Despite its newfound traction, debanking isn’t an entirely new issue, with Republicans airing grievances over the issue since the Obama administration.
