I get that. I like to point out the Koch funding when there is some astroturf organization they are behind, because that is a common thing for that group. Otherwise, billionaires of all stripes support these folks. I mean, think of all the heat on SCOTUS right now. There is a reason why the opinions coming out of that court related to narrowing the definition of political corruption are unanimous: they're all on the take. I think the whole Soros thing is just treated so much differently and, for those that don't know the history, it really stems from some folks turning his name into a synonym for globalism and the Jewish conspiracy that has been perpetuated for centuries.
I just wish people would recognize this problem exists all around and the way our officials have been making sure they can continue this grift.
