This chart is nothing surprising. However, I do find the last stat to be very telling and interesting.
VERY interesting... because that last stat line is not solely rethugs. The numbers show it cannot be.
So...

There are fewer of them and except for Elon, they only vote once, not hundreds of thousands of times over.

(8,101 posts)But my point was that those above that number are more inclined to agree with what that orange gibbon is doing. Because they are rich and will benefit regardless of how things play out. Those rich people are not just republicans.
So, why are the non-rethugs approving of what is going on? (Because this is not a partisan issue. And, if we keep on addressing it as such, we are going to end up in complete ruins. Will we finally stop pretending that the rethugs are the only ones responsible for that number? Will we finally admit that this unfettered greed-induced capitalism is behind most, if not all, of what is going on? )

Polling Ive seen has never shown 100% of Republicans or 100% of Democrats supporting any issue. Why would you not expect a few percentages of Democrats making over 180K to support Trump?

Money rules this country. Not rethugs, not Democrats, not stupid, spoiled nepo-babies. Money. Which now is concentrated in the hand of a very few, some of whom have shown themselves to be very dangerous to our society. Thanks to money being the real god, they get away with more than murder and we just shrug. You still want it to remain this way?
I sure don't.

(187 posts)This entire country is controlled by the wealthy--and like you say, it's not all Rethugs supporting that situation. A substantial number of Democrats do also. They believe they're not so bad, but they're fooling themselves.

(8,101 posts)The system is too corrupted now. We need to stop thinking that we are beholden to their societal model.
We aren't.
