        Consider Elon Musk. Really. Yeah, he made his first fortune in software, but responding to climate change was what made him one of the wealthiest people in the world. Don’t Conservative worship such rich people? We’re (finally) starting a major transformation in our economy and there is opportunity for other such fortunes to be made. This is Taylor made for Republicans

      That’s what I don’t understand, either. Even if they were a totally cynical asshole about it, a Republican should love the idea of getting rich by fleecing progressive “idiots”.

      Hell, I’ve imagined designing Trump hats, shirts, and bumper stickers just to make money off his popularity, and then donating to a cause or charity Republicans despise.
