To be fair, General Grant would work here just as well. The notorious corruption in his administration weakened Republicans and thus reconstruction. But don’t worry, everybody got away with everything.

    I’m proud to be American, where billionaires can fuck kids
    I won’t forget the pigs who died
    So billionaires can fuck kids

    And I’ll proudly stand UP
    Next to them and pretend we really care
    Cause there ain’t no doubt this land fucks kids
    God bless the pedophiles

    Jeffery Epstein became right wing because he was charged in 2007, after which he started reading Breitbart more often. Musk turned right wing after he was Me Too’d.

    Lots of “liberal” men make a heel turn to being conservative fascists who want to end liberal and progressive society once they feel caught out, or challenged by what progress looks like.

    Many on the right are “betrayed liberals”.
