Republican donors – including those who had said they’d never support Trump again after Jan. 6 — believe the current regulatory climate for businesses is also an existential danger. Kathy Wylde, president and CEO of the Partnership for New York City — a nonprofit organization representing the city’s top business leaders — said Republicans have conveyed to her that they consider that “the threat to capitalism from the Democrats is more concerning than the threat to democracy from Trump.”
Wait, the threat to capitalism from the modern Democratic Party, which is a bunch of weak-kneed neoliberal do-nothings, is worse than the threat of fascism from a guy who said he’s willing to use the power of the state to punish enemies?
Ask the Russian oligarchs that fell down stairs, out of windows, ran into mysterious rains of bullets and/or drank radioactive tea how they feel about selling out democracy for profit.
Oh wait, you can’t ask them.
These nitwits don’t realize that even if they’re not the first line in Niemoller’s poem, they’ll at best be the last.
Better to reign in Hell than pay taxes in Heaven.
I asked all the oligarchs and every last one of them said “gee, this is such a beautiful day to sit near a window, run near stairs, sunbathe under armories, or consume accidental poisons. Ah yes, so lovely– OH NO, COMPLETELY ON ACCIDENT THIS HORRIBLE CONSEQUENCE IS HAPPENING PURELY BECAUSE OF MY OWN ACTIONS AND I LOVE THE GOVERNMENT!!!”
You know the term “peak oil?”
It’s like that, but with capitalism. And when you get here, the only way to make it keep moving is blood, blood, and more blood.
I’d love a government that did nothing.
