The wealthy are hated by elements of the Right, but in very quiet ways.

I believe what many on the right hate are wealthy oligarchs in the U.S. and oligarchs around the world - who hold disproportionate influence on our republic's institutions - the foremost being our government.

Our courts are partly to blame for allowing oligarchs and corporations such power via the courts equating citizens and corporations under the law.

The question Conservatives need to ask themselves is should immensely rich people and corporations hold far greater influence over our elections, our government and our institutions - as compared to the average citizen?

The fact is the wealthy will always have more influence in society, and that includes any society. A Represented Republic, Socialist, Communist, or Monarchy.

Trump ran for President and won.
He funded his own campaign.

Could you do that? Is Trump one of those wealthy people that have special influence and privilege?
Yes, he is.

How about Bill Gates? Yes he too is like Trump in that he can influence others, buy assets or people.

The difference between the two are what you and I like or prefer vs. what other people like, prefer or want.

There are people the like what Bill Gates does. They hate what Trump does with his wealth and influence.

We like what Trump does and dislike Gates.

So it boils down to not just one’s wealth but their agenda, morals, beliefs.
A pauper can have morals and beliefs we also have.

Really my confusion has been the angry outburst from both Left and some on the Right regarding the Royals in the U.K.

On Truth Social I asked someone why are they filled with such venom and hatred over the Queen? I asked are you British?

Their reply was a total dud…….because the Queen and her family engage in and support a Pedo Ring.
No.
That’s the anger excuse…….the truth is because the Royals are wealthy and have been for generations and will be for generations.
But saying that apparently doesn’t sound like a logical or conservative reason to hate.
