There is almost no area of our lives that has not been affected by this tech-billionaire class because they’re buying elections.
The balance of the Senate has been shifted because of the crypto lobby dumping millions of dollars into right-wing authoritarian candidates.
And it’s important to note that this money is not going into just issue-lobbying alone: this isn’t about crypto billionaires trying to buy favors for the crypto industry.
This is about crypto billionaires trying to install and support authoritarians and fascists, because they believe that if those fascists are personally close to them, then they can control far beyond the regulation of financial instruments.
They think they can really start imposing this dystopian worldview that includes everything from the subjugation of women to democracy itself. And we’re seeing this play out right now in the fight over Medicaid.
Beyond the Senate, Elon Musk dumped hundreds of millions of dollars into trying to buy the U.S. presidential election, and he is trying to recoup that investment by getting one of the largest tax cuts for billionaires in American history — which the Republican Party is trying to pay for through massive cuts to Medicaid, for Americans with disabilities, health care for the poor.
They’re trying to cut Medicaid and SNAP food assistance to pay for additional tax cuts for Elon Musk and his industries, as well. This is about the extreme concentration of money and power.
Trump’s billionaire, right-wing donors have taken hold.
Now, Republicans are making history with cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, and telling their constituents, “Well, we all are going to die.”1
Our movement for real progress will have to push harder than ever these next four years.
Pa’lante,
Alexandria
