The more Trump can tear down democracy, the safer the oligarchy becomes.

This is why the billionaires who once disavowed him are quietly crawling back.

The ultra-rich will do anything to protect their wealth and power.

That includes destroying democracy itself.

you do not have democracy
when billionaires can buy the top government jobs
you have a business

Billionaires aren’t just supporting Trump for the tax cuts.

As Peter Thiel once admitted: “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.”

Make no mistake: The goal of American oligarchy is to tear down democracy itself.

50 billionaire families have spent $600 million+ on the 2024 elections, which is .06% of their total wealth.

The equivalent donation for an avg household would be ~$100.

This means 50 billionaires have the political-spending capacity of 6 million American families.

Oligarchy.

@rbreich
the last paragraph should say "each" at the end

50 billionaires each x 6 million Americans equals 300 million which is almost the population
