Think about the all the rich and powerful people who were more than happy to support trumps basest instincts. Because taxes or because woke?

I think about the tech toadies all the time. I think about how quickly they shed their nerd-guy-you-can-trust personas and embraced the toxicity of maga, trump, and even the Tate brothers. I say more than taxes.

The whole Trump-Republican political strategy is "a noun, a verb, and those evil, woke, commie liberals." That's it. And it worked to get Trump elected twice now.

Because for people with 200 billion, the biggest priority is getting to 210 billion (even though functionally it’s the same: more money than they can ever use)

Sometimes I think we’ve passed the point of no return, (both in 🇲🇽 and the 🇺🇸) Loud, shallow voices are mistaken for brilliance, while the truly wise stay quiet or follow the noise. We're handing the world over to performers, and watching it fall with no real power to stop it.

And the man threw his subway sandwich at the officer. Not tried to shoot him with a gun. But he was still charged with a felony and lost his job. Seems kinda harsh for a guy who just threw his sandwich at you.

What I wouldn't have given to see them get on with the felony trial! So Mr. Dunn gets up on the stand and claims innocence because, you see, he REALLY backs the blue! "I was just showing my support for ICE! I was throwing the good officer some fresh food and he just didn't catch it!"😏

Because they agree even if they say they don’t. “Because taxes” or what used to be “socially liberal, fiscally conservative” type of Republican voter just means that caring about other people is lower on their priority list than MOAR MONEY. Billionaires at heart, though not in bank.

Tech bros did it for money because they know he's transactional and corrupt. All they had to do is pay him to get whatever deal passed or regulation removed. But, like all deals with the devil they always have a way of backfiring. I'm still laughing about Elon getting some of his subsidies yanked 🤣

At this point, officers should be relieved it was only a sandwich. I hate to say it, but if officers are still following unlawful orders at this point, they should be expecting anything to be thrown at them

I think rich people want more than just yachts. They want the power to buy things our democracy said were "not for sale." The ability to treat people terribly, to get away with crimes bc they are rich. The fawning. The ability to terrify people into doing what they want. No consequences.

Awful people exist at every income level—wealth doesn’t create cruelty, it just expands the menu. Power gives more ways to act on who you already are, for better or worse. The real issue is accountability, not just affluence.

I’ve worked for two billionaires for years. They don’t get that way by being nice people. They don’t become nice people afterwards. If you had a choice between sharing the prosperity of a company people gave their lives for, and keeping it all for you, what would you choose? Billionaires know.

Some sociopaths claw their way up—driven, ruthless, tireless. Others are typical, unmotivated, and coast on charm or fear. The common thread isn’t brilliance; it’s detachment. When people are just levers or liabilities, sharing was never on the table.

Oh, yes, I agree with you there. I only meant that a lot of people think "all of this mess, just for some tax breaks for rich people so they can buy more yachts." A powerful chunk of very wealthy Trump backers support him on the understanding that they will not be held accountable under Trump.
