Robert ReichBillionaires aren’t just supporting Trump for the tax cuts.
As Peter Thiel once admitted: “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.”
Make no mistake: The goal of American oligarchy is to tear down democracy itself.
SimplySarah@rbreich Really odd position for Thiel, a gay man, to hold considering the 140 ppl Trump had (/has?) working for him connected to Opus Dei and the Opus Dei affiliated Supreme Court Justices. If he thinks Opus Dei wants a gay man like Theil to have any kind of freedom or rights, he might want to re-think things.

Unfortunately it is far from the only example of queer people riding the tiger of fascism:

As a queer person myself I cannot fathom why someone would do this! Perhaps they think that the horrors of fascism only apply to "little people", and assume their power and/or wealth will protect them?
enoch_exe_inc@FediThing @SimplySarah @rbreich Plenty of wealthy Jews supported the Nazi Party under the mistaken assumption that their wealth would protect them from persecution. They did not survive.

They did not survive, when staying in Germany and occupied countries, but in US, Swiss etc. as very rich people with connections and passports.
