Krugman puts it so clearly and is for sure worth a read, but let's get to #NamingNames because I'm not OK blaming billionaires in the most generic sense so that these democracy-shredding oligarch wannabes can keep their names and their reputations out of the spotlight.

* Elon Musk.
* Timothy Mellon. Oil magnate who uses family fortune to shred the social safety net and put a grifter like Trump in office.

#NamingNames cont'd...
* Richard & Elizabeth Uihlein. Owners of Uline supply co. (quit buying their stuff!) who used fortune to smear Dem candidates in exchange for a multimillion dollar tax cut.
* Miriam Adelson, casino magnate who threw nine figures into a super PAC to elect Trump and wants to add a "Book of Trump" to the bible.
* Ken Griffin, Citadel hedge fund CEO who donates billions to GOP candidates.
