This thread was meant to show that our current system has been co-opted and dismantled by fascists - which is why you’re seeing such little resistance to blatant fascism within both parties.

Donald Trump gaining presidency isn’t the coup, it’s the dismantling of critical institutions by positioning extremists.

Charles Koch, Donors Trust, Searle Freedom Trust, and the Bradley Foundation have all funded MILLIONS into ALEC and associated right-wing policy networks to push a fascist agenda.

The common theme here is that dark money has completely taken over American politics.
Organizations like ALEC, SPN, and Heritage are the reason that you continue to see increasingly radical fascist policy passed with no resistance — & they’re all funded by right wing billionaires thru “foundations”

SPN has several organizations underneath it that have been directly responsible for abortion bans, radical social policy, and many of the right-wing talking points we see reiterated daily.

SPN actively uses “cookie cutter” studies (that are inherently flawed) to give radical ALEC policies the appearance of academic and scholarly legitimacy.
Guess what - SPN is funded by the Koch Brothers as well.
Double guess what - Heritage is listed as an associate member of SPN.

The State Policy Network (SPN) is a literal web of right wing think tanks that span across all 50 states in an effort to push conservative policy to the forefront.
They’re responsible for securing extremists in the Republican party.

Similarly to the quantities not being concrete, the cost of individual weapons were also not always explicit.
So for example, I have the cost of a JDAM (Joint Direct Attack Munition) at $25,000 per unit, when it could cost as much $84,000.
