Boeing, GM, FedEx: these are as complicit as the far right in threatening US democracy

"Corporations are underwriting the thuggery of Trump and his allies – all because they want to pay as little tax as possible"

"Kinzinger, one of the panel’s two Republican members alongside Cheney, says he’s received “constant” death threats. “There is violence in the future, I’m going to tell you,” Kinzinger told ABC. “And until we get a grip on telling people the truth, we can’t expect any differently.”

"Kinzinger has announced he will not be seeking re-election. Cheney has paused participating in public events in part because of safety concerns."

Does any of this remind you of Hitler’s Brown Shirts or Mussolini’s Blackshirts?

(This is the democracy everybody fought and died to preserve?)

"At the least, it should raise questions about the wealthy individuals and corporations that continue to bankroll this thuggery – among them, billionaires Peter Thiel, Rebecca Mercer, Charles Koch, Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus, ex-casino mogul Steve Wynn, and shipping magnate Richard Uihlein."

"Funding is also coming from Boeing, Koch Industries, Home Depot, FedEx, General Dynamics, Toyota, AT&T, Valero Energy, Lockheed Martin, UPS, Raytheon, Marathon Petroleum, GM and FedEx.

"In April alone, the most recent month for which data is available, Fortune 500 companies and trade organizations gave more than $1.4m to members of Congress who voted not to certify the election results. AT&T led the pack, giving $95,000 to election objectors."

(Again, This is the democracy everybody fought and died to preserve?)
