The Real Cost of Those Eggs pt.74
Even if you are not steeped into the political world on a daily basis, you have probably been hearing that the Democrats should have a cakewalk in November at the midterms.
Hold on a second.
Yes, it is true that Trump has kept his record alive and well of “anything Trump touches turns to shit” And yes, the independent voter has swung 35 points to the Left, and yes, every special election has been a mandate against Trump. And as I write this, I flash back to the Wisconsin supreme court Judge special election. Where Musk spent how much.
It’s not just Citizen United; it's the company you keep. So, Musk is now back into the fold with an open wallet ready to back Trump again.
Let’s see how much buying power Trump has asserted so far in his second term and remember it all legal. We have waded into how much Trump has gifted just his first year alone. So, you add that together with all the let’s call what it is Legalized extortion, of our nation's colleges, legal firms, and allies. The $483 million figure is the most consistently reported across major outlets and is based on official FEC filings. The $375 million figure reflects a narrower definition (Trump‑aligned committees only). The $1.4B figure is an outlier and includes broader GOP fundraising.
As what happened in Wisconsin is what keeps me in the belief that the Trump era is running on fumes, yes, he will do whatever it takes to stay in power (i.g. Jan.6th 2021) But even Fox knows he’s full of shit, and it’s time for a diaper change
