So Trump is a Communist now?
What I meant was, them saying they’ll support Trump means they’re fascists
Election 2020 Dem Donors say “if you choose Warren, we back Trump”.

Aaah, okay. I doubt that any of them will ever support President Trump. I get the impression they would rather swallow arsen before supporting their anti-messiah.

The rich have always tried to get out of paying taxes since, well, the rich aren't the ones making sure that the farm fields are well maintained and productive. Remember, Justinian the Great (the man that almost reunited the Roman Empire) had to sic John the Cappadocian (whose name sounds like a fucking mobster's) who was said to torture anyone who didn't pay up.
That's right, torture anyone who didn't pay up, and guess who didn't pay up the most? The rich.

Given that most of the rich are outright psychopathic and I would bet dollars to donuts that if drowning puppies and kittens would net them a profit they would do it in half a heartbeat... and in this case back Trump. They're that bad. Why do you think several industries are fucked up all to hell?
Bold statement. Can you back that up? With scientistic reseach like climate change rather than anecdotes?

Yet surprisingly, much of the rich look to be extremely willing to lose money by going WOKE
The guys who own Disney are willing to lose loads of customers when they allowed Marvel Comics to go WOKE to the extreme and for even the MCU to get WOKE
Then again, from what I know, for the higher ups they care less about making political statements and making “better” people through the “lessons” shown
They hope its a longterm investment, sure they’ll lose loads or customers in the shortrun but they’ll get an entire generation of brainwashed WOKE children or even that “wider audience” of LGBTQGERE+ and people who aren’t white or are Muslim
Honestly though, too many fail to truly think in the long run or in the now or actually care about business efficiency and treating workers right(THAT is where the real PR comes from, not just some dumb PR campaigns)

I don't think that's the reason they do it; I think it's much more simple than that. It's just that they, and the people they turn to for advice on how to best attract customers (the market analysts and such), live in the same ideological bubble as the rest of the regressive leftists in the big cities. They think everyone is like them, and anyone who isn't are tiny exceptions that can be ignored; which is why they try to target customers that are most like themselves.
They've simply lost touch with reality.

Some pretty damned bold claims here. You're going to have to back that up with some sourcing.
Arch Dornan
Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
I heard they're dumping lots of funding for their Disney plus shows. 25 million an episode is what I heard from clownfish.
Marvel Comics are an irrelevance when it comes to money. The movies, cartoons, video games, and action figures are all worth far more than the comic books.
As for the MCU, they are notably less "woke" than the comics and the initial set of movies were already well established enough that they were going to make massive amounts of money pretty much regardless of the "wokeness" of later movies.
Where Disney let "wokeness" cost them money was with Star Wars. Hell, they could have made a fortune by just taking the original trilogy, recasting it with new (younger) actors, upgrading the special effects, and releasing those.
They could have also gone with something in the KotOR time period (The Mandalorian Wars and Revan's rise and fall perhaps).
Hell, they could have shown the establishment of the New Order and the fall of Ben Solo.
Instead Disney has proven that they can't make a decent Star Wars product to save their lives. Rogue One is the best that they have managed to date and it was still pretty bad. Solo just fucked up Hans origin story in fairly big ways for no discernable reason. And the less said about the Sequel trilogy the better.

Good, all the Never Hillary voters will be back.
Seriously, it is too late for that now.

Too late for Hillary to get a huge number of voters in her favor? Or too late because all this stress from losing is too much her
That said, anybody here think that with stuff like what’s going on with the Joker movie that Hollywood will slowly go un-WOKE?
There’s one famous male actor who I think is gonna be doing some movie involving a guy protecting his family and ANTIFA and him having guns
Frankly that The Hunt movie no matter what they say, I’m pretty sure the Conservatives and their stereotypes were gonna be the bad guys

It could happen. What can be considered woke will generate a counter culture that every succeeding generation gets involved in most of the time.

Not White or Western but I hope that there doesn’t come the irony where upon becoming the dominant ones, they keep up this “Counterculture” like the Left does even when their side does wrong and acts as if their side is immune from being flawed
The problem with Libertarianism’s “You don’t bother me, I don’t bother you” on almost everything is that it does NOT go into extremes enough
I believe people wish to go into extremes, that is why the Left Right Paradigm has been around so long
If it helps though, Conservative and Libertarian authors weirdly enough look to do the diversity casting themselves, like Tom Kratman’s MC for State of Disobedience(I’m currently skimming back and forth, not yet reading in earnest) looks to be a Part-Latina Governess for Texas of all things and it was the Liberals who ended up killing loads of mexicans

Well, research has been done and they include 1/5 being the minimum...
That isn't happening in real life. History and reality show us that much.

You talking about influencing/changing/teaching/indoctrinating children and anybody who consumes entertainment as not being effective?
1/5th is the maximum according to that and is comparable to prison populations apparently, which would also, IMO mean rehabilitation is a joke, and also tend to be poorer. Also, that 20% was 261 people in supply chain management in Australia. That's a very specific area and in one country and not necessarily either extrapolatable or something you can use to generalize given the low numbers. Please read your sources better. The highest was 21% off that one study, don't make shit up and say that's the minimum.
Even then, doesn't prove your statement. 4/5, majority of leaders would not be psychopaths, and that is as bad as it could possibly be according to your data.
Arch Dornan
Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
That could happen too. History repeats itself. The left was lauded sticking it to the man. Now it's the opposite.

There will come a time when people, especially younger people and the Lefties who haven’t changed from now, will go on about how the government isn’t doing enough
And claim that lots of private charities aren’t enough or that people can’t be trusted to do both good and smart decisions
Even if a borderline-anarchocapitalist society makes a utopia, there will be the problem that its not perfect enough

That said, if the Dem Donors DO switch to Trump, they will probably not care so much about Twitter as other Far Left companies dealing with entertainment
