It makes a sort of sense when you consider that ‘that’ class of donors SUPPORTS THE AIM OF THE CRIMINALITY. If the aim is to remake the US into something more like Plato’s Republic, that includes a LOT of crime: gutting the constitution, reverting the franchise to white male property-owners *only*, re-establishing slavery as a “positive good”, remaking the US as a wealth-only aristocratic state, & commoditizing the rest of us, black, brown *and* white into either servitude outright or as wandering homeless tribes.
IMO *THAT* is the ‘prize’ they’re after…and it will ERASE ALL CRIMES COMMITTED IN PURSUIT OF IT.
SO: why would a deep-pockets owner in search of the operator who’ll make it all happen care about petty crimes like national security breaches? Or even about the J6 coup efforts in toto? On the contrary: why wouldn’t the Neon Nightmare be the PERFECT TOOL to finish the job?
And why wouldn’t DeSantis be the *perfect* backup play?
Billionaire ethics amount to “I *might not* screw you while you watch”. Racists imagine that whiteness makes them brothers to the billionaire…but the billionaires imagine getting their way no matter what
