The richest Americans thrived under Biden, despite warnings of an 'oligarchy
- johng 2y agoYet mainstream media convinced the younger generations that all the rich billionaires were the ones backing Trump. When, in reality, for the first time ever the Republicans had _ONE_ billionaire backing them. Musk. The Democrats have been the ones with lots of billionaires backing them for the past 20 years.
- joshmaker 2y ago30 seconds of googling easily disproves your claim that only one billionaire backed Trump. https://www.businessinsider.com/which-billionaires-support-donald-trump-campaign https://www.businessinsider.com/which-billionaires-support-d...
- johng 2y agoThere are thousands of billionaires that support both sides. But not with mega donations. For example, 450M that Zuck donated on the previous election. I think Musk donated ~150M this election but that's all anyone would talk about. When I talk about support, I'm talking about big financial support, not just "hey, I voted". That doesn't count slanted media coverage, censorship on facebook, Twitter, that you really can't even put a price on.

- lm28469 2y agoI can't believe we're still at the stage of pointing fingers at the other side. Democrats, Republicans, the extreme left, the communists, the alt right, the far right, yadda yadda yadda It's glaringly obvious the entire political spectrum is rotten to the core and it all is an illusion of choice, it's all about power, money, keeping it and if possible making more of it, none of them care about the bottom 90% a week after they get elected, if they did care even a little bit the US would be a completely different country. You still have 10m households getting water from lead pipes lmao, #1 global superpower #1 economy #1 military We have the choice between eating shit or drinking piss and people decide to make one of these their entire personality, is this how little imagination we have left ? They're all printing money while we chimp out at whatever bullshit the news, that they control, decide to shit out. https://fortune.com/2025/01/08/congress-stock-trading-pelosi-2024/ https://fortune.com/2025/01/08/congress-stock-trading-pelosi...
- johng 2y agoI don't like either side. I'm libertarian. But I'm especially disgusted with the MSM's complete bias and lack of holding either side accountable.
