Billionaires are lining up to eagerly fund Trump’s anti-democratic agenda | Robert Reich

The more disturbing Trump’s public proclamations become, the more US plutocrats seem to want him to win

In the 2020 presidential election cycle, more than $14bn went to federal candidates, party committees, and Super Pacs – double the $7bn doled out in the 2016 cycle. Total giving in 2024 is bound to be much higher.

That money is not supporting US democracy. If anything, that money is contributing to rising Trumpism and neofascism.

    And Trump is anything but stable. Are some assholes lining up to fund him? sure. they’re voting anybody in who’ll push their policies in. (and by voting, I mean bribing the fucking hell out of everyone.)

    Because they’re confident that they’re isolated from the chaos their policies will bring thanks to their walled communities and private armies. Feudalism 2.0. If the king creates too much chaos and disrupts their income, they’ll assassinate him and install a new one.
