In a nutshell, associations that support his politics. That's ~1B a year. That's roughly 4 times the yearly budget for NRA, to give you perspective /2 https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/explainers/open-society-foundations-and-george-soros …

Before internet era Soros was widely known as the "man who broke the english pound". His shorting on it made him 1B and costed 3.3B to the UK - multiply that by 5 in gold value to get an idea by today's rates. It's scared the hell out of Germany of France and was a big drive.. /3

...in creating the Euro Zone and € "protect us from speculators like Soros". Nowaday I can see wikipedia keeps it neutral about him but in 1992, he really was a poster boy of unethical, shameless greed and cynism in EU, a finance boogyman. /4 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Wednesday …

Now that may have been a wild exageration of local press here - just reporting what my father was telling me, I was a teenager at the time. Still, if my calculation are not off, he probably costed something like ~250£ to each UK individual (children included). /5

So at the very least there's more than his talking to the vampire stereotype :) And there are good reasons a lot of people see him as an enemy of the people. He sure has been that in UK circa 1992. /end

How do his past antics effect America in 2018? Take the past off the table. What we are left with is that he donates to a lot of liberal causes but we don’t know how much it matters.

A brand as a trajectory. I don't care much for Soros but it seems factual to give him four times the weight of the NRA politically and not to assume of his honest good intentions toward the commoners. The conspiracy stuff is silly but he's a de facto heavyweight political player

Also keep in mind Open Society has a history of promoting Regime Change abroad, ie street overruling elections. Seems unlikely he wouldn't push for the same judo in the US if he sees an opportunity.

Regime change to make those countries more democratic or less? The direction matters.

Ok, let's say the stated intent was to make those countries more democratic (equal/fair/politically correct/etc), if the end result is having less of that, or if they moved directionally wrong, what would be your judgement then?

I don't do vague hypotheticals. Every situation is unique.

But you do... Or at least you make people do them when you ask if that regime change had a positive or negative direction. But fair enough, I was leading the witness...
