…is that they’ll feel a shiv going up their ass and be shocked that it’s a special gift from their golden god. Look. They’re oligarchs. They want to alter the taxpayers’ revenue stream so that the money gets diverted from the Treasury and into THEIR POCKETS. It’s been their plan for decades. The plan is nothing new. What IS new is that 50% of the country got bamboozled into believing that no harm will come to them because… Trump. And they all believe that Trump’s lies will not be consequential for them. They’re in for a big surprise. But when the light bulb goes off in their heads, it will be too late.
