They back Trump not because they want him, but because they made a monster they can’t control. What they really want is a fascist government that will push their neoliberal agenda to allow corporations to reign supreme (although plenty of them are fully on board the theocracy crazy train as well).

They will destroy us all for their insatiable greed. This will not end with Trump.

Exactly! Trump is just their lacky. Their end game is a Christian theocracy.

Who are the oligarchs not on this list?

Looking up at billionaires with admiration, believing they are better than us because they are billionaires is the REAL Big Lie. They are stupid. They spend billions to avoid paying millions in taxes. The underlying basis of Laffer's curve was wrong and they had to have known it. If you want corporations to invest more into research and development, workers and their communities, you increase their taxes! Those investments are tax deductible! Money spent on C-level salaries is also deductible, as are all workers wages. The difference is R&D, workers' wages and sponsoring a Little League team are all INVESTMENTS with an accountable return. C-suite salaries are sucked out of the economy, stashed away in private hands with all the other billions they have. They are stupid. Have they given any thought to what Project 2025 will do to the economy? Or that lots of Americans, who aren't employed, aren't looking, so they aren't counted, don't want to work for shit wages at shit jobs for which there aren't even set schedules? All of which would get worse with Project 2025?

Before you comment, I know the Oligarchs probably do not shell out billions every year to buy politicians. But it sounds better than "they spend more buying politicians than they would pay in taxes."

Now you're talking.

Your next move is to make every one of these folks, and all their dirtiest deals, as "famous" as Soros or the Kardashians.

They should be made into a deck of cards, like the US forces did with wanted Ba'athists in the Iraq War; and have ten million of those distributed, for free or cheap, throughout the entire US.

They thrive upon hiding their hand.

Don't. Let. Them.

Make the MAGA puppets defend every single dirty action these people ever took to become billionaires.

Ignore Trump; make his owners the issue.

My dad is a small business owner but supports Trump through and through from the notion that he's business oriented. But what he doesn't understand is the vast inequality in how their business operate. The rich only help each other get richer and unfortunately, the working class people who blindly support them get no piece of that pie.

If Trump isn’t elected, there will be no quo.

If Trump *is* elected there will be no consequences of the “pro quo.”
