As noted previously, there are two distinct types of Trump supporters: a) Amoral/immoral rich people, who, at the top echelon, donate huge sums of money in exchange for tax breaks at the corporate and personal levels, and b) working-class white people who like how Trump punishes the already marginalized: Latinos, Muslims, blacks, LGBTQs, women, the poor, and the uneducated, and who make nominal donations, a large percentage of which go to keeping their hero out of prison.
As the author of the meme here points out, Kamala Harris is in a position to spend 100% of the money she raises on defeating her opponent. Simple and straightforward. As much as I would like to see money out of politics, in relative terms, there’s a lot to be admired here.
Yes, There Is Money in Politics, But Some It Is Far Dirtier (and Stupider) than the Rest

Trump’s Only Real Talents: Attracting Attention and Controlling Morally Weak People
Trump is not an idiot. His IQ may not be too high, but he’s smart enough to know how to conduct himself in his lifelong quest to amass more wealth and power at the expense of everyone else on Earth.
Trump’s Only Real Talents: Attracting Attention and Controlling Morally Weak People
At left we see the moral bankruptcy that guides our civilization.
I recall many years ago, when Musk was becoming a “thing,” writing a post to the effect that, “What a terrible shame. We really didn’t need just one more super-rich asshole on this beleaguered planet.”
It’s easy to understand how Trump has great appeal to the hateful idiots and the amoral rich.
It’s much harder to see how it’s possible that a huge number of eligible voters are uninvolved in guiding the future of the United States, with many of them saying that “both sides are the same.”
