How many billionaires are there? How many do the Republicans “have”?

So...you just copied this from a tweet a few posts down, and made it ugly? Nice job.

I understand the general sentiment, but this whole "we're no longer a democracy" is at best bullshit and at worst a dangerous statement to repeat. There's a lot to fix in the US democracy (and somehow money involved isn't even the most critical issue right now), but simply stating it doesn't exist could empower some really destructive behaviour. Try living next to Russia for some perspective.

I really wonder why so many of the super-rich back Trump. He has a really bad track record when it comes to honoring contracts, let alone promises. Add to it that he already tried to overthrow democracy, in which case your campaign contributions would become worthless the moment he manages to seize power.

"Elon Musk says" not a Elon fan but where did he say that? I have only seen them say "Sources close to". If he actually does it and we have records yes it is bad. But right now it's just a rumor.

Nope, nothing there. Still waiting for actual facts.

No problem. You can be on that side, believing all the same stuff, and only be against the more extreme methods of group-based self-deception. It’s just bad internal intelligence methods. No biggie. The core philosophy’s still sound, I’m sure.
