GOP Mega-Donor Charles Koch Says He Regrets His Decades Of Political Partisanship
Isn’t that precious? Chucky regrets his over half-century of financing the fear and hate-mongering by the Republican Party to gain the political support of the racist and bigoted white, working-class conservatives across the nation.
Rational Americans wonder, what happened to cause this sudden epiphany in good old Chucky? Did he just notice the decades of white supremacists’ violence against African-Americans in the former Confederacy? The cross-burnings? The lynchings? The murders committed “legally” by white supremacist cops? Or is it something else?
Living so far out-of-touch with the everyday lives of hundreds-of-millions of average Americans, did you just become aware of the many years of mass shootings in our public schools by heavily-armed psychopaths who kill our children? Did that rattle your cage sufficiently to make you realize it’s the Republican Party you handed tens-of-million of dollars in political contributions that have steadfastly refused to implement even minimal restrictions to gun ownership to deter these mass murderers?
Could it be, that from your cloistered environment, you might have become cognizant of the hundreds-of-thousands of men, women, and children living homeless in the streets of this nation? Most of whom, despite the RWNJs’ constant assertions, did NOT choose this way of life?
Is it possible your legal teams siphoned so much of that $2.2 trillion contained in the COVID-19 legislation into your coffers, you forgot about the small. mom-and-pop businesses that really needed some of that money to survive?
Chucky, you and late brother Dave cannot have been so stupid that you never realized the Republicans’ political tactics of sowing hatred and divisiveness were tearing the country apart. During your buddy, donny trump’s presidential campaign, you didn’t notice anything about his political style that was a bit... askew? Also, given that his hate-speech so often openly encouraged his devoted fanatics to commit violence, is your family’s grasp on twentieth century history so weak you failed to notice how much the rhetoric mirrored Adolf Hitler’s first years as der Führer?
Chucky, all those decades you and late brother Dave shoveled cash into conservative causes and the campaigns (and the pockets) of Republican candidates, were you so blinded by your own greed you could not see how the numbers of working class families struggling financially in this country were skyrocketing? The news was all over the papers, did you and late brother Dave only read the financial sections?
Chucky, your expression of regret is much too late, and your claim of turning your “attention to issues like poverty, addiction, gang violence, homelessness and recidivism”, well, progressives will believe that when they see it. However, attention to climate change is conspicuously absent from your list of new “causes”. Could that be due to your financial interests in fossil fuels?
It would appear your newly acquired “activism” is limited to causes that don’t dip into your corporate profits. That seems a bit hypocritical for an eighty-five-year-old billionaire who “regrets” his political partisanship, don’cha think?
