Elon does the Nazi salute

You seem to care about them a whole lot actually.
They appear to be the core belief of your politics.
Yea the idea that you guys talk so much and care about it is so weird.
I can’t help but not comment to say how stupid it is. It sucks me in everytime. You guys are men right? I’m talking about you Valca and Squeezer. Not women? (which is fine but just checking). If so I’ll shut up about it. I understand where you are coming from if you are. It’s hard to tell on these forums.

Democrats raised over $1 billion this past election cycle. Republicans raised $394 million. You do the math about which party is the chosen one for billionaires.. Trump had these billionaire CEO's there because he wanted to make a statement to the world. That the US is open for business. This talk of fascism is ridiculousness.
Interestingly MAGA seems to at the very least subconsciously apply this rule to gender, sexual orientation, race, nationality, immigration status or identity.
Looks like it really is just some form of elitism presented as populism.
Trump actually may have got more from the outside than Harris did.
I doubt the 394M figure is correct, because Elon himself gave 250M.
He did no such thing. In the 3 years leading up to COVID the US growth rates were 2.5%, 2.9% and 2.5%. But more importantly real median incomes were rising faster than at any time in the 21st century.
Im Canadian, and the son of an immigrant. I'm earning a 1% income, but still decidedly working class (I.e. I have to go to work every day, My family can't live indefinitely off my accumulated capital)
Part of my customer base has names like Morneau and Bragg, so I swim in those waters sometimes. None of those guys "did it on their own". They were able to grow generational weath. No different than Trump or Musk.
Im also old enough to know that my grandfather was able to raise 5 kids with a grade 2 education, own a cottage, and retire comfortably before 60.
Those opportunities are going away, and gone for my kids, because labour has stopped doing violence. Look at the h1b visa fight. Musk has made it clear he just wants labour as cheap as possible. He doesn't give a shit about humanity. Anyone supporting him feels the same.
We fight fascism because it is an ideology of failure. It inevitably leads to violence. Once again, as a father, I'd prefer to live in a world where my kids don't have to fight a land war in Europe. Going Luigi on a couple of wealthy heirs may make the point with minimum bloodshed.

Doesn't seem to be the case based on the info below.
The Washington Post Fact Checker awarded the claim “Two Pinocchios,”4 partly because Trump claims credit for a trend that started under Obama and greatly exaggerates the impact of the tax cuts.
Weird in what way?
Figuring out the arrangements of society pretty much dates back to the dawn of history.
Right.
It's clearly incredibly important to you that people accept your view of politics as the proper and correct one.
Why would that be remotely relevant unless you think "men" is an important part of the hierarchy you want to enforce?
Sorry to shatter your world view:
The Trump administration was ruining the pre-COVID-19 economy too, just more slowly
You don’t have to be an economist to know how the U.S. economy is doing today: It’s an utter shambles, with tens of millions of workers unable to find the work they need to get by, and with tens of millions of families facing extreme hardship and anxiety. These terrible conditions are mostly the...

You are absolutely right.
I find it strange that Canadians use biased news sources to argue you are wrong.
From personal experience Trump years were fantastic pre-Covid for myself and most people I know.
Obama years were good as well but he inherited a post crash bounce back
Um, Jews are just people who have just as diverse opinions as anyone else. Treating them as one entity sounds like something Frank would do.
Your opinions are dumb as is your desire to turn every thread into yet another of your rants about Jews.
Elections Overview
Every election cycle brings its own brand of excitement -- and lots of money. For past cycles as well as the current one, here is where you can find out who raised the most, where it came from, the most (and least) expensive races, top donors, how incumbents did versus challengers and more.
www.opensecrets.org
The Republicans got more from PACs (by an order of magnitude), while the Democrats got more from individuals. (That pattern also holds for House and Senate races.)
Or, if you prefer to look at it including the outside money...
2024 Presidential Race
As we inch closer to the 2024 election, we begin to see groups working on behalf of each of the most serious White House hopefuls – leadership PACs, super PACs, 501(c)(4) dark money outlets and more – crop up and start spending in support of their favored candidates.
www.opensecrets.org
Harris -> $1,994,938,580
Trump -> $1,439,768,875
With Trump's money coming mostly from Outside money and not Campaign money.
And, of course, only 6 people donated more than 100 million dollars to the parties in this election cycle.
Who are the Biggest Donors?

Those were all to Republicans.
So yeah, doing the math, it is pretty clear who the oligarchs and billionaires chose overall.
At least in terms of putting their money where their mouths are.
Agreed.
Open for business, bribes accepted, you can pay us off and get what you want from the US government.
Pro-billionaire, fuck the working American.
That was exactly the statement he made to the world.
No, no.
The cultural MAGA bit was also important.
That's how they intend to get the typical American to not object to the billionaires and corruption.
But your data is flawed and biased (the ones you guys opt to post are all from left leaning sources as identified by all sides.com). There are so many nuances to the data points both sides are posting on here.
For example, If any of you lived in tri-state area of US, you could see a month going into elections, a Trump victory was all but guaranteed, yet the polls and media painted a biased or incorrect picture.
The polls that constantly showed Trump ahead by a slim, but solid margin?
Those were wrong?
But sure, which data is flawed and biased in what was posted?
How is flawed and biased?
After all, K. Douglas doesn't pretend he doesn't prefer posting from biased sources (or at least has in the past).
If you want to argue the economy numbers, feel free.
We keep talking about it because you keep trying to deny what is plain as day, in your face reality. It is YOU who are continuing this discussion.
