I fly a flag in front of my house that says, "Eat the Rich." I'm dead serious about the sentiment. Also, if I ever get the chance to spit in Tucker Carlson's face, I'm taking it.
Thank you for the thorough, unsparing overview of the decades long effort and dark money fueling the lava of hate that's already destroyed much of our democracy.
I'd just note that significant money is poured into our society not simply to fuel white vs POC inchoate rage, but to create and exploit divisions amongst groups, such that Black millionaires spout antisemitism and attack the trans community. We also see different Jewish factions attacking one another, ditto different Latino groups. These are but a few examples.
We cannot hope to effectively push back on the wealthy exploiters without a tacit agreement to more critically examine our biases, and rise above to create a lasting coalition. This country did so for the Civil Rights movement, and we can do so again...but not if we're fighting one another.

So well said. Thank you
