Democrats claim to hate rich people, but like all things of the Left, there is more than one face. They need them, and their wannabe millionaire cousins. Political campaigns cost money. Sure, they can print it (money), hand it off to the numerous luandresses in DC and across the corruptible fruited plain, and buy votes and kickbacks, but that has its limits. Getting caught is a distraction, and every now and then, if the rotten fruit is low enough on the tree (and the political ladder) It risks prison time.
And yes, more than just some of that finds its way into the interests of billionaires who return the favor with campaign support, but the whole process rubs their ideology the wrong way. The Left’s grass-roots zombies are encouraged to hate or even kill the rich (and maybe not just rhetorically). They bring mock guillotines to protests and rant online while the Democrats who handed them the dark mask and encouraged the outrage sit in equally swanky style.
Most of the political elites who rile up the groundlings in their party are themselves rich. Wealthier than anyone should expect or they should deserve to be. And it explains their psychology. How, after all, did they accumulate their wealth? Lying, theft, access, and fraud. People like Ilhan Omar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez didn’t amass multimillion-dollar fortunes on their $ 176K/year government salaries. Nancy Pelosi didn’t outsmart the Markets and its brightest minds for decades because she should have been a hedge fund manager instead of a career criminal doing business as a member of Congress.
They are all at least a little dirty, and more than a few of them are a lot. It isn’t restricted to the party, but Republicans don’t go around hating the rich and telling their voters to do the same. Republicans don’t pass wealth taxes, millionaire levies, and fees on Billionaires. Red States don’t tax you out the door when you can no longer afford to live under the systemic threat to productivity that makes it possible for anyone in America to become “rich.” Work hard, create something new, or improve something we already have, and you will be rewarded. And then Democrat leeches will come for you because they just assume you came by your money through illicit or at least suspect means. That’s how they did it. It is how their peers did it.
There is no honest money or even honest wealth, and at the end of any day ending in ‘Y,’ you didn’t build that.
This is the same psychology that drives much of what Dems claim, often expressed by our side as projection. Democrats don’t want you to have guns, probably because they wouldn’t trust a lot of the people they know with one (or a room full). Best to have them in the hands of a government they control.
White people are racists because white Democrats are, and, after all, they’ve got hundreds of years of actual and ideological history to support that.
Democrats hate jews women and even blacks, Latinos, gays, trans, and everyone else, especially if they get lucky and get rich. Doubly so if they fail to buy their bullshit and join the other victims on the identity politics totem pole or the diversity and inclusion plantation. Know your place, or you don’t get to have one.
And the greatest truth of all? You are all one wrong move, one mispoken word, one misunderstood phrase, one drunken tweet or TikTok away from becoming their enemy because that is how you get ahead in their world. You find a target, isolate it, and then destroy it, even if, as in the case of the rich, doing so will do more damage to the people in whose interests you claim to act.
No matter how bad things get as a result of the destructive agenda, you will, after all, still be rich. Your bodyguards will have guns. Your house will be on the hill, behind a wall. Perhaps one of the few, of only a handful of rich people left, all in government or almost, relying on the laws you ignore if inconvenient and the bureaucracy and police state you erected to protect yourself from … your own voters.
If you need examples of this in the real world, may I suggest Cuba, China, North Korea, Venezuela (before recent events, though still a work in progress), and every country behind the Iron Curtain?
It’s no joke. They all did the same things as your Democrat friends in government, and if you fall for it at some point, no matter how paltry your wage, you’ll become the richest person left, even if you are poor, and you will all be poor, except for them and don’t you dare complain about all this equality you’ve been given or they’ll take your life from you as well.
It’s ironic. They get you to yell kill the rich (free speech), and in the end,d the only rich people left are in a government that will kill you if you dare to speak against them.
