The Road from ‘Citizens United’ to Trump, Musk & Corruption

A ‘naïve’ #SupremeCourt delivered lawless #greed & #cruelty. We’ll have to save ourselves, if we can.

"The court’s 5–4 #CitizensUnited decision, allowing unlimited corporate, interest-group, & individual spending on elections, did trigger dire predictions... But even the most pessimistic among them fell short of imagining #American reality today."

I've observed Reagan as the doorway for the capitalist greed to enter. He changed the rules on corporate stock buy backs that were formerly illegal.

Then, decades later, the #SCOTUS enabled that same corporate money to flow into elections from decisions like #CitizensUnited. McConnell cemented it all when Trump seated 3 Justices.

Ok but without a system of acceptable bribery like #citizensunited , it's more difficult to destroy #Democracy or rewrite #history.

#Carter: "He long advocated for #Palestine’s right to statehood, green energy solutions, and universal health care. After the Supreme Court ruled in step with #CitizensUnited in 2014, effectively eliminating caps on campaign donations, Carter described the #UnitedStates as an “#oligarchy with unlimited political bribery.” "

"To the extent that Musk has more power than Trump, it is because he can fund primary challengers against Republicans who do not surrender to Musk’s demands. Trump cannot make that threat credibly.

And the only reason that Musk has that power is because of the US Supreme Court’s decision in Citizen’s United."
