Oddbean new post about login | logout Jonathan Weller reminds us of why Gaetz and his fellow jackals do what they do. They want to depict themselves as noble freedom fighters, but they're fighting to put more money into the hands of their super-rich donors and to take vital support away from the needy at the bottom of society. Noble is the last thing these jackals are. #Republicans #Gaetz #cruelty #CrueltyIsthePoint #SuperRich #EconomicElites /1 https://jonathanweiler.substack.com/p/a-cruel-and-pointless-exercise
As Roger Sollenberger reports, though Gaetz pretends to be sustained by small donors, recent video shows what he's really doing behind the scenes, as he meets select groups of big right-wing donors to court their financial support. #Republicans #Gaetz #cruelty #CrueltyIsthePoint #SuperRich #EconomicElites /2 https://www.thedailybeast.com/matt-gaetz-says-hes-fueled-by-small-dollars-a-leaked-video-shows-him-courting-gop-megadonors
@f884fa2b Well, that's how freedom is currently framed in the USA. The ultrarich are free to do what they want. Want to kill a couple of their peons? Freedom is being allowed to shoot the vermin without some irritating goody-2-shoes working for that evil-anti-freedom state thing trying to limit your freedom. Not your cup of freedom? Then you are obviously a communist that still has hang-ups about outdated concepts like the rule of law and democracy.
