The GOP is a billionaire funded mis/disinformation operation, siphoning $ from gullible, angry americans who don't know how anything works, so end up voting against their own interests. Happily, at times.

And today’s oligarchy is going to do whatever it can to keep it this way.
Keep cutting their taxes and they’ll continue to purchase politicians.
