If someone paid him trillions of dollars to enact a land back initiative, give us proper healthcare, protect workers' rights, push for cleaner energy, and hold corporations accountable, he'd call them a woke liberal and a communist. The money is part of it, but that's not all it is.
he is 83yo and in complete control of the most powerful, dangerous State in the history of mankind. He may have needed them to get there (this time, he didn’t need them last time!) but he doesn’t need them now at all anymore.
There needs to be a different explanation about why he keeps him around.
I think you severely underestimate what hundreds of billions can do. Like that alone could fund HUNDREDS of PMCs. Not sayin the corpo PMC wars are coming soon but that's one thing I don't think the pres could do. All those billions could *easily* get rid of trump.
The explanation is that this is what fascism does. It serves the wealthy oligarchs. They broke the socal contract we had of mutual cooperation long ago, people are finally just waking up to it cause its not behind the curtain of liberalism anymore, so they have partisan reasons to be opposed now.
Until Trump begins to demand tribute. He's following the Putin model. American oligarchs think they are smarter than the Russian oligarchs and can avoid eventually having to bend the knee and kiss the ring.
the year is 2032. a carton of eggs costs $57, healthcare has been replaced with a "buy 30 get 1 free" punch card, and the incumbent president pays white house rental fees to the private equity firm that took down red lobster. liberals are still trying to learn what "collusion" and "price fixing" are
bold of you to assume the party will even put a platform together. after last time, the platform for the next election might just be a haiku about teamwork
that's perfect but they'll still send you back a deep fake of Nancy Pelosi thanking you for your submission and telling you that they decided to go in a different direction
