The 1% evade $163B in taxes per year.
Tesla paid $0 in federal income taxes from 2018 - 2022 & 2024.
Billionaires can write off the cost of their private jets and yachts.

Yeah, e.g., Harris lost by 1.47% to Trump, that small margin accounts for only a fraction of all those who voted against Harris simply because she’s a woman of color (not to mention how effectively demonized she was by the far right propagandists on Fox et al and social media).

Gonna date myself here but Trump running away from mRNA vaccines is like Dexys Midnight Runners running away from “Come on Eileen”
This is especially wild when you remember the first Trump administration was largely responsible for making mRNA vaccines and tech a global thing in the first place.
Exclusive: NIH officials have advised scientists to remove reference to mRNA vaccines from their grant applications, in expectation the Trump administration intends to abandon most research in the field.
