Then, there are many Democrats taking a slice of the wealth being redistributed before it is distributed if it is distributed
No, the democrats who get pandered to with the promise of wealth distribution only get crumbs and crumbles. There’s not enough to go around as welfare and subsidies after the wars, pork, and special interests.
But that’s just what dems want. Keep them needy, and desperate.
When some democrats voters suggest republicans are an ‘existential’ threat, they actually believe it.
If you’ve got someone on the dole, and you ween the supply, if they can’t rebel and find independence/freedom, they are very desperate and loyal subjects.
