Can't wait for his photos in drag to surface 🙄
How do we the people legally defend our freedom against all of these billionaires dumping cash into the dark side? Wealth is being used as a weapon and it is resulting in real negative implications in our lives. Some of these guys are literally buying down your quality of life.
The real answer is you tear down Citizens United and make lobbying defined as the bribery that it is, then cap political campaign donations at 2k max from all sources. If that doesnt work, we revert to violence. The wealthy tend to stop fucking around when all their friends are getting bonked.
also: force political non profits to higher levels of disclosure. lets see some of those internal federalist society emails.
We need to push for campaign finance reform and we need to continue to draw attention to billionaires and corporations that are dumping piles of money into buying elections.
Good luck with that, considering the Tribunal of Six is fully committed to the idea that money is speech, despite the fact that it is absolutely nothing of the sort.
Thankfully, the Tribunal of Six also thinks entrenching our right to firearms is a great idea, so do with that what you will.
What else can you do? You fight for it and draw awareness to the problem, or you give up and let the oligarchs take over more.
Or things get so bad and authoritarian that that whole second amendment thing starts to get used in the context of the original intent for which it was written.
Wealth is always a weapon, this is why we need economic change. No individuals should wield so much power
Just start murdering billionaires. Easy.
This is the only answer that will actually work. No one inside politics wants to restrict the amount of money they csn receive. Until we force consequences on the rich, they wont suffer any.
People always forget what the good old days are.
The good old days are back when if a boss took advantage of his employees and fucked them over too hard, the employees would just drag mr. Bossman out of his house and beat him to death in front of his family.
Maybe his brother who takes over the business will get the hint to not fuck over those who actually run the companies.

“Expect us to increase support for organizations that call out companies and financial institutions that bend to the woke mind virus
That shit is so 2022. Get outta here.
I have 1B to give to people to spend on evil messaging and research of crap that hurts others.
That 1B is allergic to helping people, fixing systemic issues, and truly making America great by elevating those that actually need it. So I must keep it in my pocketses.

If there's any better proof you need to prove that obscene amounts of wealth really fuck your mindset up enough to make you go against your fellow humans, look at the assholes finding the GOP.
Guy is a whack job, but is also seemingly living in an incredible amount of denial.
Not in denial, I'm sure he knows exactly how much power he has. They just have to keep playing the victim to keep their base afraid enough to keep voting their way.
Did you read his quote though? He's under the assumption that somehow the politics push society to act a certain way, and not the other way around.
He's woefully out of touch and in complete denial thinking his money is going to sway what have become societal norms in the US.
He's been successful so far in executing his plan. The supreme court locked in for pretty much a generation, legalised corruption, made abortion illegal in some states again, etc. And it's basically a coin flip whether he can do more after the election because somehow it's a close election between Trump + project 2025 and the alternative.
These guys are dangerous, and shouldn't be dismissed as delusional.
I would argue that is subverting the will of the people by exploiting the system which is not what he's saying here. It's obvious he thinks that whomever is in positions of power can influence the general wishes of a population simply by existing and parroting their positions with enough repetition, which is categorically untrue and been proven so throughout history (even recently) over and over again.
Sure, our society is so progressive we could never backslide to the point that abortion is illegal or anything.
Beside that, if he's throwing around billions, he's likely most interested in economic issues like unions and worker protections.
You're mistaking the levers of power at work with the actual societal norms/wants/wishes.
He's a rich fascist and a threat to life on this planet.
I don't care to analyze more deeply than that.
Find me a single leftist in corporate media. Even MSNBC is heavily anti-bernie.
The reason media tends slightly from furthest right possible is they don't want to pay defamation lawsuits so they do the barest possible investigation to cover their ass. Consider that a significant portion of the US corporate media revere republicans despite knowing every time they've lied, how and why.
Even MSNBC is heavily anti-bernie.
They called Sanders' supporters "brownshirts," a word they refrained from using to describe the January 6 insurrectionists.
This man is a serious threat to democracy.
I hope all terrorists get what they deserve.
Dominance of fucking what?
Right?
Liberals suffer from the "woke mind virus"? Conservatives suffer from the "weird mind virus". This mother fucker looks like Hans Moleman from the Simpsons.
You do Hans a disservice.
Woke mind virus = People should share my own disgusting backwards opinions so I feel less weird.
It's weird how words come around again. I'm sure he meant this in the American liberal v conservative context, but it also works in the old meaning of liberal in the sense of "people who don't want a king"...
Ironic that these guys all are worried about the "woke mind virus" when they all have neurosyphilis.
I very much look forward to reading this scumbag's obituary.
I pledge $5 to hire a 'liberal dom to crush his balls'.
