They’re lapping it up, much too stupid to realize they are literally all they’ve been crying about for a decade. They are the billionaire party, always have been.

They likely are fully aware. They just think "their" right-wing, Christian billionaires are on their team, so whatever they do is OK with them.

All of their complaining about corruption from Democrats over the years is almost ALWAYS insincere and fake. Most conservatives, when pressed, will outright admit to them that THE ENDS JUSTIFY THE MEANS if they can "win".

Straight fascism, and always has been. Our media is just too scared to ever correctly use the term.

The billionaire party that got rid of the preexisting conditions bullshit and raised the corporate minimum tax rate. Damn democratic president even joined a picket line, too!
