Don't be afraid of billionaires. Make billionaires afraid of you. Take them on, don't back down.
Billionaires from Musk on down used all their tricks and failed.
Democrats are trained to lust after billionaire money, but courage has tremendous value.

They literally have a contingency fund for SNAP that they are refusing to use.
