The Insidious Right

The Insidious Right

It's a mistake to center on the tax advantages that the uber rich are pushing as their driving force. Sure, there are some monetary advantages, but they already have all the money in the world. 

It's no wonder that the Right centers on people like George Soros, Bill Gates, or Warren Buffett. Imagine the damage that someone with unlimited finances can wreak if they have a radical agenda, something they ascribe to their motives. 

The flip side of that coin? The Heritage Foundation's founders, Elon Musk and, most importantly, Peter Thiel. They aren't just passive supporters of things conservative, but ideologues committed to destroying things the rest of us consider as positives, things that have nothing to do with economics. 

They are Armani-clad Proud Boys. Their agenda is as radical as anything we've ever encountered; fashion a new world view.

They aren't really Trumpers, he's just a vehicle. And now, they've managed to insert one of their own, JD Vance, a Thiel protege, into the mix.
