Mini-thread: Mike Lindell and the right-wing plutocrat network
The MeinPillow guy's never-ending spew of lies and delusions about the 2020 elections have damaged the country, but his craziness does provide a great example of how insane your average right-wing donor is.

The fat cats who bankroll the GOP (even pre-Trump) are lunatics, pure and simple.
The biggest right-wing donors out there are Robert Mercer and his daughter Rebekah Mercer. They are outright Christian supremacists who also are in love with the atheist Ayn Rand.

To a normal person, these two worldviews are utterly irreconcilable because they are diametrically opposed. But if you're crazy enough, they blend perfectly!
They're best pals with a guy named Arthur Robinson who collects urine and loves fake science fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-g…

Of course, Robinson is on the boards of several well-funded right-wing non-profits, including the Heartland Institute. He's also a donor to the creationist bullshit factory, the Discovery Institute.
The Mercers lobbied for Trump to make him the National Science Adviser

I could do this all day but I have to walk my dog so I'll go to Peter Thiel, one of the other big funders of Trump. He's an atheist gay man who has a very odd habit of financing and associating with people who hate gays and atheists.
Thiel has extensive ties to self-described white nationalists, including ones who have glorified racial violence: buzzfeednews.com/article/rosieg…
Thiel even was scheduled to address a white nationalist conference until he was exposed by the SPLC. splcenter.org/hatewatch/2016…

Feel free to add your own plutocrats to the list. I will make an essay out of this thread if we can get more examples.
Thanks! 🦮

Back from the dog walk. I realized I forgot to post Mike Lindell's insane whiteboard chart that got me thinking.
Lindell hasn't been made crazier by Trump losing. He's been this loony for a while, and of course has been welcomed by the GOP to top events.
