— Why the rich favor the Democrats – Peter Skurkiss (DIERSEN: Rich people have
never had to pay the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, or Inclusion. I

Milton Township, in Wheaton, in Wheaton’s West District, in my precinct, etc. I
would focus on the aforesaid who focus on destroying me because I oppose
patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and
age discrimination.)
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/03/why_the_rich_favor_the_democrats.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Why
do the wealthy align with the Democrats? The answer may seem counter-intuitive,
but it is really quite simple. It’s surely not ideals or high-minded
principles. Nor is it ignorance. Rather, it boils down to raw self-interest. In
his book, The Age of Entitlement: America Since the Sixties, Christopher
Caldwell notes that rich Americans think themselves to be as vulnerable as
blacks. They are a relatively small minority of the population. They fear being
resented for their wealth and power and of having much of that taken from them.
Accordingly, the wealthy seek to protect what is theirs by preventing strong
majorities from forming by using the divide and conquer principle. As R.R. Reno
writes when reviewing Caldwell’s book: “Therefore, the richest and most
powerful people in America have strong incentives to support an
anti-majoritarian political system.” He goes on: “Wealthy individuals
shovel donations into elite institutions that incubate identity politics, which
further fragments the nation and prevents the formation of majorities.”
Some of the rotten fruit of the wealthy taking this approach include multiculturalism,
massive immigration of diverse people, resistance to encouraging assimilation,
racial strife, trying to turn white males into pariahs, and the promotion of
gender confusion. Through it all, society is bombarded with the Orwellian
mantra that “diversity is strength,” as if repeating it often enough
can make it so. It is also why patriotism and a common American culture are so
disparaged today. Those from the upper strata of society project the idea that
if you’re a flag-waving American, you must be some kind of retrograde
mouth-breathing yokel. The wealthy as a groups are content to dissolve the glue
that holds the U.S. together. And it is all done to enhance and preserve their
power, wealth, and influence. This is why they so hate Donald Trump. He strives
to unite people and the country, although you’d never know that that is what
the president is doing if you live in the media bubble. Trump’s MAGA agenda is
an anathema to the managerial class.)
