Billionaires 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.

This is also being attempted in the UK. It’s a worldwide problem. I guess they look at Russia and see how the oligarchs were made there and how much they gained. The Tories were certainly very impressed and I think they wanted to do the same in the UK.

Why are we negotiating our future through paid for state legislators. This speed train fiasco. Billionaires turned 6bil into 130bil atm in CA. Gave our high speed lanes to FastTrak after we repaired the roads. Why not take these high-speed lanes back.

It is because when he says freedom, he means oligarchy. He means his ability to take everything He wants as opposed to actual democracy which means The tide of our society lifts all boats.

The billionaire class (don't mistake that for them *having* any class) look to Russia's oligopoly and think "Yes, we can live like monarchs and those we exploit can simply suck it and have no recourse to influence our excess"

When you have more money than you can spend in a lifetime the only thing left to have is unlimited power. They want neo-feudalism. We follow their laws, work for them just for the privilege of being their vassals, and take whatever crumbs they offer. That's exactly what they want.

Huh. I can see how he might feel that pure capitalism and democracy aren't compatible. But freedom and democracy?

Anyone that doesn’t understand this doesn’t fully appreciate what this election is about. Anyone that doesn’t understand this doesn’t fully appreciate what the Leo-Alito-Thomas connection is all about. Wake up folks!

Peter Thiel is one of many billionaires born in the US, or who weren’t born in the US but now carry dual citizenship—one US and one for another country—who have publicly stated for years that he or she doesn’t support a mixed raced, mixed religion participatory republic democracy.
