Citizens

For several months the word oligarch was championed as representing the Trump administration but after the falling out with Musk the word fell out of usage. The idea was that republicans were using wealthy people to buy elections but the facts tell a different story. In the 2020 election the Democrats raised $2.9 billion while the Republicans took in $1.8 billion. Who did the oligarchs support? 83 billionaires gave to the Democrats and 52 backed Republicans. When the Court approved Citizens United by saying the money was speech, the Democrats said this would skew elections but the results favored the Dems.
