Robert Mercer and his daughter Rebekah are two billionaires who have put their money behind their prejudices.
[Rebekah] Mercer has been financing a host of right-wing individuals and groups involved in the storming of the Capitol, The Intercept reported earlier this month, from Arizona Republican Party Chair Kelli Ward to “Stop the Steal” organizer Ali Alexander, in addition to her role as a financier of news website Breitbart and the social network Parler. In 2020, Mercer’s father, Robert Mercer, donated $1.5 million to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s super PAC, the Congressional Leadership Fund, and the Mercers donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Republican National Committee.
The Mercers money insulates them from the vagaries of life that face over 99% of the rest of America's population which gives them a unique position from which they can judge others. In their view Democrats are rabid Marxists (a human species that has been on the endangered list for decades) and Black Americans had it much better before the out of control government started giving them the same rights as white Americans.
And no matter what you do, don't mention the media to them.
Mercer is indefatigable in her critique of the media. “Today, journalists of the mainstream media are little more than the Machiavellian foot soldiers of the progressive left, unethical to their very hearts, shameless about writing lies and defaming people, and assiduously filtering the stories they print through a prism of partisan prejudice,” Mercer writes.
These are Trump kind of people.
