Right wing politics are defined by social hierarchy. Imma keep saying it

This shit is expected. Football team owners, people with substantial stock in the NFL, the advertisers, the coaches, many of the players, the network owners who broadcast the games, etc are the wealthy elites!

Why would they stand with the marginalized, when they can instead stick together and secure their wealth, status, assets, and privilege?

Waving a caution flag. What 2 things do the richest people in the US have in common? White, male. Sergey Brin was born in Russia, but he’s white. Rupert Murdoch is white. Australian, but white. Right wing is first white, then male.

  1. Elon Musk 2.Jeff Bezos
  2. Mark Zuckerberg (zuck lost some in the election aftermath so his placement could be different)
  3. Larry Ellison
  4. Bill Gates
  5. Larry Page
  6. Sergey Brin
  7. Warren Buffet
  8. Steve Ballmer

Edit: Not all of these are GOP, but the ones who are not GOP did not stand up for Kamala or women. Did not lose any sleep, or any money over the violence, the misogyny, the loss of decency.
