USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for political analysts, journalists, and anyone interested in the intersection of wealth and politics, particularly in the context of the current U.S. political landscape.

It is still kind of sad to see how one's money can have such influence over imposing their opinion, bypassing democracy. We all knew it was happening, but no one has been so blatant about it before.
 
The Simpsons didn't foretell this.
Their crystal must be broke.

Maga and the Repubs will have to pick sides - Santas already kinda leaning to Musk, while Bannon and Lorimer backing Trump. Cival Maga war if this continues.
 
This gut doesn't hold back, though I am not so sure about the deadbeat dad thing. Musk may not be around, but he AFAIK financially supports his harem. Trump gets some lashing too.

You can be a junkie and a deadbeat dad. MAGA doesn't care — as long as you're white | Opinion​
