 Some of y'all are still confused as to why it seems that Silicon Valley billionaires are "turning to Trump." That's because you don't listen to Black people, you disrespect poor white people, and you ignore obvious statistics that have been staring you in the face for decades. Silicon. Valley. Billionaires. Have. Always. Supported. Trump. Not because they like the tax breaks. Because they are more likely to be racist, and racism is the greatest predictor of Trump support. 1/N 3 comments
Most of the *people* in Silicon Valley, vote Dem. But most of the *money* in Silicon Valley, votes GOP. Some of these VCs sit around in online chat rooms with alt-right reactionaries and real life nazis. Some of them hold little public meetings, where they talk about ending democracy and great replacement theory. Some of them write books on why diversity is bad, and should be avoided. Most of them cheer on Elon's anti-woke, fashy push. And y''all are surprised that they support Trump? 4/N |

There's a statistical lie that the US tells itself:
"Poor white people are more racist than rich white people!"
This is objectively, demonstrably, false. It's been shown over and over. But we still cling to it. We use lies like: "college educated white people are less likely to vote GOP!"
First of all there's not a 1:1 correlation between racism and GOP. Second, business owners are richer than employees, and most US business owners *didn't* go to college.
