    Not in denial, I’m sure he knows exactly how much power he has. They just have to keep playing the victim to keep their base afraid enough to keep voting their way.

      Did you read his quote though? He’s under the assumption that somehow the politics push society to act a certain way, and not the other way around.

      He’s woefully out of touch and in complete denial thinking his money is going to sway what have become societal norms in the US.

        He’s been successful so far in executing his plan. The supreme court locked in for pretty much a generation, legalised corruption, made abortion illegal in some states again, etc. And it’s basically a coin flip whether he can do more after the election because somehow it’s a close election between Trump + project 2025 and the alternative.

        These guys are dangerous, and shouldn’t be dismissed as delusional.

        Sure, our society is so progressive we could never backslide to the point that abortion is illegal or anything.

        Beside that, if he’s throwing around billions, he’s likely most interested in economic issues like unions and worker protections.
