This is just one of many ways that Republican oligarchs influence elections with their unlimited dark money. The Koch and Walton families will each spend about a billion dollars supporting every Republican candidate for office in a presidential election year. The Republicans have been doing this since the ‘60s with their political foundations. Democrats have nothing even close to this level of organization or funding.

There are dozens of other Republican oligarch mega-donors doing the same; Mercer, Crow, DeVos, Prince, Thiel, Leo, Mellon, Stephens, Navarro, Buckley, Brodie, Murdoch…all donating millions each and these are just some of the better known right-wingers. Many siphon money through right-wing political foundations to cover their tracks.

“What isn’t said enough is that rural whites are being told to blame all the wrong people for their very real problems. As we argue in the book, Hollywood liberals didn’t destroy the family farm, college professors didn’t move manufacturing jobs overseas, immigrants didn’t pour opioids into rural communities, and critical race theory didn’t close hundreds of rural hospitals. When Republican politicians and the conservative media tell rural whites to aim their anger at those targets, it’s so they won’t ask why the people they keep electing haven’t done anything to improve life in their communities.”
