The October Surprise is that the billionaires prefer fascism to slight tax increases, which is not really a twist at all.
@lolgop it still baffles me that anyone that incredibly successful wants to tinker with the environment in which they succeeded. I'd spend big money to keep the status quo. Hell, stay away from presidential politics entirely and put just enough money into the Senate to prevent a wealth tax.
But I guess they think differently
@lolgop @mattmay I think those billionaires do not realize they will end up on a chopping block. They think the money will save them. I have to say that many Americans, from rich to poor and vice versa, are so naive of things like fascism and radical nationalism that they are willing probably disregard a lot of warnings. Folks do not realize it’s not a movie on the screen. Perhaps the history means it to happen this way. I am sadly puzzled.
@lolgop IBM and Coca-Cola found Nazi Germany to be very profitable. Everything else is secondary. 🤬
