GOP Mega-Donor Charles Koch Says He Regrets His Decades Of Political Partisanship

Its a defensive move....kiss the ass of the dems.....and hope they don't tax you out of business.....

Dems are never going to stop hating the Koch's.

Few people know, but the Koch foundation donated millions of dollars to business schools throughout the country. They gave those schools that money with one requirement. Business majors would be required to read Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand. Have you read that screed? It is one of the worst written books I have ever came across. I mean give me Flannery O'Conner, Doris Betts, who I studied under, or Walker Percy. But I would rather be waterboarded than forced to read Ayn Rand. Absolutely horrifying. The prose is terrible, sentence structure elementary school variety, little more than piss poor propaganda. It hurt to read it.

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?

Charles Koch regrets his partisanship: ‘Boy, did we screw up!’

I made it through 1 paragraph of your rant before I was left shaking my head at what a delusional whack job your are. Saying others are fear mongering and then immediately labeling white working class people as racist bigots. Talk about projection.
You’re a fucking loser worthy of pity.

Koch is a neocon asshole of the highest magnitude. Neocons are White supremacists, racists, bigots and blatantly pro rich. Trump Republicans are pro worker, pro equality and pro the American dream. The Koch brothers and their asshole friends at the Lincoln project are more like Democrats than Trump Republicans.

Chucks just hoping to avoid the AOC/Antifa Attack Lists and Death Squads.

That could very well be, though I will admit that I hate the Cocks.

The RWNJs that fight hammer and tong to protect Big Business and the ruling billionaire class have played into the hands of the ultra-wealthy since the‭ ‬1960s.

It’s taken only the promise that the Second Amendment fanatics can keep their artillery,‭ ‬and continually feeding the RWNJs‭' ‬racial hatred and bigotry,‭ ‬and with those minor guarantees,‭ ‬the Republican Party bought the loyalty of every ignorant,‭ ‬right-wing racist,‭ ‬wife-beating,‭ ‬beer-swilling,‭ ‬gun nut in America.‭ ‬And,‭ ‬the wives and girlfriends of these narrow-minded a$$holes fall into line right behind them.

Anyone looking at the past fifty years of history in the U.S.‭ (‬no,‭ ‬not the bullsh!t taught to schoolchildren‭) ‬will understand this is true.

Since Ronald Reagan sold the RWNJs his‭ "‬Reaganomics‭" ‬snake oil,‭ ‬they have clung tightly to their belief they are receiving the‭ "‬trickle down‭" ‬he promised.‭ ‬But,‭ ‬like everyone else in the bottom‭ ‬90%,‭ ‬the only thing trickling down on this segment of the population is the forty years of pi$$‭ ‬from the ruling billionaire class blasting them in the face every day.‭

But the blindly loyal RWNJs never complain,‭ ‬in fact,‭ ‬they ask the ruling billionaire class for a more intensive stream of‭ “‬rich man’s pi$$‭” ‬in their faces.‭ ‬Before and after every election.‭ ‬The Republican Party and the ruling billionaire class know they can always rely on that blind loyalty,‭ ‬coupled with rhetoric designed to maintain the RWNJs‭' ‬hatred and bigotry,‭ ‬and use it to keep the average Americans divided politically.

All this rancor induced by the Republican Party to reinforce the political,‭ ‬racial,‭ ‬and religious divisions among average Americans could be changed.‭ ‬But,‭ ‬to do so,‭ ‬would require that Democrats abandon the fiction of political centrism and establish a countervailing force to the oligarchy‭ – ‬and,‭ ‬not incidentally,‭ ‬sever their own links to it.

The Democrats would have to demonstrate to white,‭ ‬working-class voters how badly racism and xenophobia have hurt them as well as the people of color.‭ ‬Unfortunately,‭ ‬the Republicans have a fifty-year head start reinforcing the racism and xenophobia in the white,‭ ‬working class voters,‭ ‬which is an extremely large obstacle the Democrats would need to overcome.‭

Adding to this obstacle,‭ ‬the centrists in the Democratic Party proved long ago they have no interest in making even the slightest attempt to change this longstanding conservative mindset.‭ ‬But,‭ ‬who could blame them,‭ ‬the GOP has convinced four‭ (‬going on five‭) ‬generations of white,‭ ‬working class Americans that all of their failures in life are the fault of the poor,‭ ‬the non-whites,‭ ‬the non-Christians,‭ ‬immigrants‭ (‬both legal and illegal‭)‬,‭ ‬the educated.‭ ‬the liberals,‭ ‬the progressives,‭ ‬and a host of others.

Proof of the insurmountable nature of this obstacle is staring well over half of the American public and the rest of the world in the face.‭ ‬Rather than step back and look at the‭ “‬big picture‭”‬,‭ ‬these four‭ (‬nearly five‭) ‬generations of white working class voters remain brainwashed by a fifty-year long Republican political strategy that’s eliminated their collective ability to be objective.

The most recent example of this total inability to view a situation impartially by the RWNJs,‭ ‬the impeached president trump’s unwarranted insistence there was widespread election fraud in the November‭ ‬3rd Presidential Election.

What little evidence of fraud has been found can be chalked up to misunderstanding,‭ ‬inadvertent mistakes.‭ ‬right-wing stupidity,‭ ‬etc.‭ ‬But nothing has been found to indicate election fraud on the scale alleged by the impeached president trump,‭ ‬any of his attorneys,‭ ‬or any of the fantasies created by his devoted fanatics.‭ ‬But,‭ ‬regardless of all facts contradicting all of the proof no one can find,‭ ‬but the RWNJs know it exists...‭ ‬somewhere,‭ ‬that fifty-year long Republican political strategy that’s eliminated the RWNJs‭’ ‬collective ability to be objective,‭ ‬will have them by their throats until the day they die..‭
