13. Uh oh, Bill Gates isn't being a bad horrible billionaire-oligarch, what with his announcement of $200 billion

he's going to give his charitable foundation.

Who else is on the list of Democratic billionaires corrupting everybody? Warren Buffet is retiring. Oh no, list must be very small! Frankly, demonizing the "Democratic establishment" was easier because never had to name names, it just sounded large and scary.

According to the myth, Democratic billionaires have to shower all their money on Democrats to turn them into corrupt Republicans, except they don't turn into Republicans and don't vote for tax cuts for the wealthy, repeal the ACA, defund everything, eliminate the social safety net, ignore climate change, etc. How was the Biden administration same as Trump because the bad horrible billionaire-oligarchs bribed them? Don't they notice it's not working? May as well throw money out the window. Why is it impossible for the wealthy to like Democratic policies? Doesn't make any sense. If they want Republican policies they'd give Republicans money.
