The dirt this guy must have on EVERYONE is insane.
He’s one fucking guy, you cowards.
Yeah it's definitely not "just one guy," this is a collective effort by a group of very wealthy people who are creating policy at the federal level and state level.
This is decades in the making. It is a ~~sort of~~ "civil war" but the thing is, it's a small group of wealthy people who are hoping to manipulate enough Americans into believing they have some kind of common in-group interest that will motivate them to fight against any Americans resistant to their takeover. Which, after actually typing that out, and reading it, I'm realizing that is also exactly what the American civil war was, there was just no way for people to be informed about who was actually pulling the country's strings at the time.
That's why they exploit political, racial, and religious divisions. They don't actually care about any ideology. It's a tool to manipulate and control in order to further exploit groups to do their fighting for them.
The Heritage Foundation first infiltrated the government by providing Reagan with a copy of their Mandate for leadership, and getting him on board back in the early 80s.
Over 40 years later, they are back in the White House ready to implement Project 2025.
Since Reagan opened the door for them, America has gradually accepted that social benefits are handouts, but corporate welfare actually benefits all of America, because somehow corporations ARE people.
Citizens United was a huge victory for this wealthy group of individuals, because they now have to jump through fewer hoops/hide the source of money used to buy elections.
The Heritage Foundation has also created a network of nonprofit think tanks in all 50 states that pays to promote state level policy benefitting wealthy individuals and corporate donors while disguising it as "small government" representative of state residents.
The creator of this network was Thomas Roe, an early member of the Heritage Foundation. As Roe himself explained to another Heritage Foundation trustee, Robert Krieble, "You capture the Soviet Union -- I'm going to capture the states."
T.l.d.r., it's a bit more complex than one guy.
He's not just one guy. Republicans own the House, the Senate, the Supreme Court, and the hearts and minds of half the population. This is what happens when people don't vote.
Sounds like a lot of people need to be dealt with.
Actually, this is what happens when people ignore the wealth accumulation to the top under capitalism.
