Elite donors are rediscovering their affinity for the former president over taxes — even as he vows to free Jan. 6 defendants, promises mass deportations and faces 88 felony charges

The only thing that matters for almost all billionaires is accumulating even more money that they can’t actually spend on themselves in a lifetime. They’ll happily engage in hatemongering and toss away democracy to get that.

      The smart ones are allocating their assets accordingly. They have no loyalty to the country, and certainly not to its founding principles.

      Fascism worked out great for industrialists in Nazi Germany. In fact, even after the war they faced no consequences. I don’t get why you people don’t see that the billionaire class would be totally fine with a fascist system.

      These billionaires don’t tend to think past their main interests which are measured in quarters. A fascist US would hold the value of currency probably long enough to not calculate into their concerns. The dollar will most likely take years to fall off a cliff so they’ve got 12-24 months and they don’t care about anything further out. Their long term assumption is that they will be part of the fascist gov and keep doing well.
