As the dust settles it will be interesting to see what business interests are bankrolling the MAGA cult? Trump would never have been allowed to get past the primaries (let alone become POTUS) if he wasn't supported/funded by major business interests. I am curious who these shadowy GOP cartels are and what they are up to?

Perhaps the relevant "major business interests" are just the right wing media and their advertisers?

See The GOP Is a Propaganda Party: Media parasites have taken control of the host by Amanda Carpenter, The Bulwark, November 30, 2020. (The Bulwark is published by Defending Democracy Together, a group of anti-Trump Republicans and former Republicans.)


Agreed, the media has financially benefited. People become addicted to reading about his shenanigans, advertisers are the winners.

No. I’d rather they just crawl back under their rocks and stay there while trump dies in jail.

But there has not been a potus in living memory that has intentionally radicalized his cult followers via his delusions and pathological lying. All of America’s nutjobs and crackpots have been wound up by his bs rhetoric and they’re ready to SNAP.

What makes you think these hardcore maga militia types Aren’t going to lose their s**t & be violent? :?

Do you ever watch/listen to any right wing propaganda to see what kind of messaging these people are filling their heads with? :?

Y’all Qaeda has been radicalized and they’re gonna be activated.
