It’s not every day that someone in Hollywood obliterates the Democrats. Normally, the actors and actresses are all on board with whatever it is that the woke party is pushing on Americans, no matter how imbecilic or obviously disastrous.
But actor John Cusack flipped the script in a recent screed on X (formerly Twitter,” arguing that the Democratic Party is controlled by corporatists who have sold out the working class Americans they claim to be fighting for. Though a liberal, he evidently at least realizes that the Democrat leadership is corrupt and working against the average American. “They have played a major part in creating the precise conditions for fascism to flourish – Obama corporatist democrats – are to the right of Richard Nixon on domestic policy – Don’t believe me – look it up – and Dems have sold out the working class for decades – and this kind of bought and paid-for betrayal of principals [sic], fairness – historical precedent -any sense of moral or intellectual honesty – The kind of brutal selfish horrific actions one only does – because they can get away with it,” he said.
Continuing, he ripped into the Ivy Leauge elitists for having terrible ideas and being in bed with corporate interests, writing, “Cause all yr Yale and Harvard buddies will tell you how great and smart you all are – and they are all in bed with all the all the same big , big money power players- And we run the world – right ? – this kind of staggering amoral bullshit – is one of the main reason ( yes there are others ) trumps demagoguery works on people. The democratic elite ARE full of shit –”
Then he blasted the political class for helping out the oligarchs at the expense of normal people, saying, “Imagine arguing this – in these times . TOTAL insanity- or in another sense a totally corrupt rigging of the game for concentrated wealth- you are literally working to preserve the Koch brothers – musk gates besos -all the federalist society billionaires who bought the courts – to preserve and expand their plunder –
Imagine what FDR would say about such a proposed law ?!”
And, bashing the misplaced sense of priorities Democrats have, he next said, “Don’t worry fellas – the democrats will save the .ooooooo1 % from paying tax – the hubris to do this – is staggering – it’s a sham and an insult to everyone’s basic intelligence – the contempt for people – To even attempt this …Unbelievable.” “BUT Imagine arguing this shit – to make taxing the .000000001 % illegal. Arguing against a wealth tax for besos musk gates – basically it doesn’t count as taxable income unless it’s cash ? Whoa – I see what you did their Neal – that’s clever ! Think of the Eisenhower corporate tax rates – The minimum wage is 7 dollars –
Katyal is well and good outing trumps lawlessness and putting the fascists in their place legally – But seems like he’s working on achieving their greatest victory – so we find out he’s working on making it illegal to tax the wealthiest oligarchs in the history of earth ?” he continued.
And, ending by comparing the party leadership to Marie Antoinette, he said, “This – is “ let them eat cake “ hubris If this story from jacobin is not true katyal should sue them for character defamation and slander – If it’s as reported – Wanna know the blowback when Corporatist dems sell us out for the 7000 time? When “ hope “ and change is just another branded hustle. It’s savage It’s here -“
