I'm not saying they aren't important - they are VERY important.
But they have been planning a recapture of the GOP for a long time. "Donors" aren't blue or red - they represent, and in some cases are, the people who run the world.
And their ideal situation is two parties with two candidates, and not having to worry about who wins, because both parties and both candidates AGREE on the "donor community" fundamentals.
If all the woke, all the groomers, all the tranissaries were put in gas chambers tomorrow, the "donor community" would be fine with that.
What they are NOT fine with is Trump, Tulsi Gabbard, RFK jr, and Tucker Carlson burning down their control structures and putting them on planes so they can go screw up some other country.
And what are the "donor community" fundamentals?
1) Open borders
2) A global open market in labor
3) Offshoring productive industries
4) Financialization of the economy
5)) Severing the medium of exchange function of money from the store of value function.
6) Usury as the main engine of consumption.
7) Denying the people their natural, healthy love of their nation
8) Overseas wars on behalf of alien peoples without recompense for our sacrifice.
9) Forced "diversity" with its attendent decline in standards and inevitably accompanying violence.
DeSantis/Scott vs. Newsom/Abrams. From the "donor community" POV, it's a win-win.
1) Open borders
2) A global open market in labor
3) Offshoring productive industries
I have no idea how you believe you can tie DeSantis to those policy ideals. He’s been an outspoken leader on securing the border, even sending Florida state troopers to Texas to help, and has made actually building a southern border wall one of his main 2024 campaign planks. Most recently he said he would declare the border a national emergency, and defend the it with deadly force.
He’s also enacted some of the toughest immigrant labor laws, including recently taking their drivers licenses away, and made growing new businesses in state verses abroad one of his major priorities.
