That’s why so many of them support the Democrat Party and its policies in the USA.

I already posted about the example of a “Liberal” mugged by reality, which came from Minneapolis. But in fact the entire state of Minnesota has been screwed by people like her in recent years, and they’ve had the money to do it, as the Powerline folks explained in their article earlier this year, What does it cost to buy a state?:

The conventional wisdom is that in the 2021-22 election cycle, dollars spent on behalf of Democratic candidates in Minnesota exceeded Republican dollars by a factor of around ten to one. The disproportion in spending by the parties themselves was even greater, more like 18 to one. The Democratic Party is awash in cash….

They have a chart detailing the amounts dumped into the DFL (Democrat Farmer Labor Party – a strange, long-time Minnesota variant of the Democrat Party) by various unions, PACs (Political Action Committees) and other “DFL Funding Groups”. But it’s the chart below that is also a tell: remember this the next time some non-American idiot tells you that the GOP are the party of the Rich.

As you can see they are all from out-of-state. The State GOP actually beats the DFL in local fundraising, but they’re all small donors and the Democrats don’t even really bother chasing those people because they don’t need to. And that depth of fundraising goes deeper than just billionaires:

Alida Messenger, our ex-governor’s ex-wife, a New Yorker, who contributed at least $2,980,300 to Minnesota Democrats in the most recent cycle. There is no Minnesota Republican (let alone an out of state Republican) who spends that kind of money.

And aside from not having to worry about the impact of Democrat policies on social welfare, crime, homelessness, cost-of-living and the rest of Little People’s Lives, the rich class get some staggering returns on their political investment:

What does that $92 million (+/-) buy you? It sounds like a lot of money, but it really isn’t. That amount is roughly 1/3 of the cost of the $250 million Feeding Our Future scandal.

For example, you get complete say over the disposition of the $17 billion+ state budget surplus. Divided by $92 million, that gives you leverage of almost 190:1. Stated another way, the initial investment in DFL campaigns was paid back in a few days’ worth of budget surplus. There is no stock market in the world that provides that kind of return on initial investment.

I doubt many of those donors are Far Left, or even Left at all outside of being libertines on social issues, but they enable Leftists to implement their theories and the Left are quite happy with that situation.
