It seems Glenn Beck and his ilk are preparing their followers for two possible futures: a) permanent and complete GOP control of the federal government or b) massive resistance to a Democratic victory that will make J6 look like a garden party. One thing they’re not prepping folks for is democracy.

Trump's ballroom donors include:

-Google, whose CEO thanked Trump for "resolution" of an antitrust case
-Palantir, which has lucrative contracts with ICE
-Blackstone's Stephen Schwarzman, who would profit from Trump's regulatory rollbacks for private equity
