Powerful Rich Conservatives Who Hated FDR’s 1933 New Deal Are Backing Trump

Why’s press hyper focused on Biden are, post-debate…
This is what I surmised happened during the presidential debate held on June 27, 2024. During the first 10 minutes of the debate, before President Joe Biden started to do better, the reporters’ phones were flooded with texts from democrats of all stripes, sharing their panic and shock at how poorly the president was performing. The reporters then fled to their media offices in panic mode, and the rest is history.

Reality…

If there’s a change in the democrat party’s presidential candidate due to overwhelming pressure from elites and donors, expect the foreseeable, inevitable fallout of lots of in-fighting with angry base voters screaming foul. After all, millions of Democrats selected President Joe Biden to be their standard bearer, despite being fully aware of his ageism issues. As their votes and voices become nullified, they’ll be pointing to the media gurus, donors, professional pundits as being a major contributor to this nightmare, especially since back seat drivers have yet to produce any definitive, objective proof that a (name the candidate) substitute presidential nominee will deliver better results.
The most current polling results do not bolster the naysayers’ view that the president can’t win in November. According to a July 6, 2024 Morning Consult poll shows that 71% of Democrats want POTUS Joe Biden to remain in the presidential race. In fact, if the democrat party’s presidential nominee, despite the recent overwhelming bad press, is currently tied with his opponent, I’d argue that this argument over age is moot.

No matter who the democrats’ presidential nominee is, Americans need to shut out all the background noises by planning to vote for all pro- democracy (democrat party) candidates instead of those who are promoting Russian style autocracy and Project 2025, a conservative plan designed to restructure the US governmental infrastructure, end of story.
It’s important to know that the swing states of Michigan and Pennsylvania have over 2 million potential voters who take advantage of Medicare benefits and they need to know how the conservatives’ Project 2025’s plan will cut this entitlement.
As per a 7/6/2024 Bloomberg / Morning Consult poll, POTUS Biden is leading the GOP MAGA ex-president in Michigan and Wisconsin. In Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and North Carolina, the incumbent is now within the margin of error, per the survey.
“Overall, the poll found that the MAGA ex-president is leading President Biden by only 2 percentage points across seven swing states — 47 percent to 45 percent. This is the closest Biden has been to overtaking Trump since Bloomberg started tracking the seven states last October. ”
“The poll also showed Biden narrowed the gap with independent voters, with both being tied at 40 percent. In a previous poll, the ex- president led the incumbent 44 percent to 36 percent.”
POTUS Biden is politically savvy enough to know all of the above, but the professional pundits and donors have been operating in such a high panic mode to where they’re not taking the time to do a non-partisan due diligence study before calling for drastic solutions.
There’s been a group of far-right conservative corporate executives and millionaire/ billionaire donors since the FDR New Deal era who support mostly GOP MAGA candidates, conservative media outlets, conservative federal justices, conservative think tanks and political activist’s organizations. They’re easily recognizable because of their consistent goals which include the paying of less taxes, the ending of government regulations and safety-net programs like Medicare, Obamacare and social security. They’re the ones who hate labor unions, women’s rights being expanded including access to abortion, and any reasonable gun regulations. For decades, they’ve promoted the GOP thinking that climate change science is a hoax, and that racism no longer exists.
History of powerful conservatives driving the US towards becoming an autocracy, as per Foreign Policy’s interview with Heather Cox Richarson…
“FDR’s New Deal, which he launches in 1933 after taking the White House in the election of 1932, is a dramatic reworking of the modern American government. In using the federal government to address the excesses of the 1920s—when the Republican Party controlled the government and erased the gains of the Progressive Era—FDR institutes a government that does three basic things: It regulates business; it provides a basic social safety net; and it promotes infrastructure. That government is extraordinarily popular among most Americans, who believe that the 1920s and the crash and the depression that followed it were the fault of Republican policies in the 1920s.”
“Crucially, that same government that we have lived under since 1933 has always been opposed by a very small group of businessmen, social conservatives who don’t want women to have rights, and racists who don’t want people of color and Black Americans to have rights. That small faction is the one that now dominates the Republican Party and is trying to erase the federal government. So much of American history since the 1930s has been a struggle of that small group of people to get rid of a government that a majority of Americans really like.”
“The New Deal, even though most people think it’s stuck in the past, is, in fact, on the table right in front of us today, quite literally being argued over.”
An economics-based Republican vision was employed to get rid of the New Deal state. Between 1933 and 1981, we had what economists call “the Great Compression,” which is when government regulations and the social safety net compress the difference between the incomes and wealth of people at the bottom and at the top. That turns into the “Great Divergence” after 1981, with regulation and the original set of tax cuts under Reagan.”
