This isn't surprising to me.
The last few days have felt like Obama fever all over again, which is a good and a bad thing in my book.
It's good in the sense that Trump is way too Nazi-Adjacent for me to think his loss would be a bad thing. It's a bad thing because Harris, like Obama and Biden, will be a billionaire's president if elected, and the US will therefore become more fascist, not less.
How are they a billionaire's president but Trump wasn't? His cabinet singlehandedly undid more regulations and taxes on corporations than maybe any other.
Who are the billionaires? Cause it seems that Kamala is heavily against fracking, so I'm guessing not the oil billionaires?
Not trying to be dismissive, genuinely curious
Plus the net worths of Trump's cabinet is basically the highest in history:
Linda McMahon is worth $3 billion but was "only" SBA administrator, not a cabinet secretary.
Jared Kushner is from a family whose net worth is in the billions between all of them, and he got his dad a pardon.
Let's not forget major donors like the Adelsons, the Kochs, and everyone else.
Yes, Democrats have some billionaires on their side, but the balance isn't even close.
Why does it not surprise me that Betsy DeVoss, sister to Black Water's Erik Price, is a multi-billionaire who singlehandedly undid more for education in this country. Awesome.
