They'll follow the money. Cozy up to Democrats, change their public image, and keep influencing policy behind the scenes. Different party, same game.

Exactly. The stupidity of the Republicans only serves to highlight how savage the unbridled capitalist system in the U.S.A has always been. Deep down, the Democrats support the same thing, but (being savvier) they know how to disguise it.
The goal of the blues is the same as that of the reds (to increase social inequality), though the latter are clearly more crude than the former. They only differ on cultural issues, in order to give the public the impression that they are vastly different.
Politics in America is theater, a WWE game, which is why the two-party system is referred to as the Uniparty.
I wish to quote here the inestimable Lt. Worf.
Die.
I'm assuming they'll start up with internal DEI book clubs? Maybe slap some rainbows on some things?
they already have a network set up in the dnc. we need to root out the batards in the dnc first before we talk about mission complete
Shrivel and die, hopefuly
Fuck the tech bros and their eagerness to fuck all the people for fun and profit. I am buying a paper notebook and a pencil and some stamps. That's my internet motherfuckers. I don't even have to subscribe to anything and pay a monthly fee. ISP's, we see you and we are starting to look in your direction.
They will go to prison, if we have the political will to make it happen.
We need to release Luigi and give him an army.
They will throw money at democrats. It’s imperative for us to keep tabs on which ones accept their money. And AIPAC’s money.
Same thing they do every day, Pinky, try to take over the world!
My guess is that the extent of their token gestures will amount to little more than going back to pride flags in June and pronouns in their email signatures.
Fuck off and die, hopefully.
But, probably not.
They'll help trump in some way to stop democrats from taking control.
What will they do??
The only thing they can and should do is fuck off!
I'm not down for murdering folks without due process. That being said, if one dispassionately measures the good done vs the harm caused, throwing every billionaire into the sea — even the "good ones" — the math suggests more good would be done then harm. Sometimes it's difficult to reconcile the morality of not murdering them.
We need a shitload of Luigis to take the moral hit, leaving the rest of us to be innocently outraged. I, for one, would be the first to write a sternly worded online comment.

They will cozy up to Democrats, and celebrate on stage with them when they take the Presidency.
In return for all of that "coziness" (i.e. donations), Democrats will continue their longstanding policy of not returning to pre-Reagan taxation for corporations and the wealthy (a 50-year tradition)
They'll cozy up to the Dems. It's not rocket science. All the corporations pay both parties to further their interests, due to the most idiotic ruling in history: citizens united, which effectively decided that legally in the US, money = speech.
Well make sure to remind everyone who Elon really is if he tries to pull that.
We'll see what Vivian has to say about that...
It's known as a plutocracy ... a political system based on money and wealth
As compared to a democracy ... a political system based on the will of the people.
America has always worked like the first and it's debated as to whether or not it ever was the second.

They’ll pretend they’re progressive again
Dems have a fuckton more house clearing to do before billionaires need to worry about a fucking thing, but at least it will go faster now because a lot more Dems will need to vote against in order to prevent passage, instead of the one-off "take one for the team" carousel of status-quo enablers.
I have a suggestion for them: they can go fuck themselves.
If Zuckerberg is so disliked, why do so many idiots still use Farcebook?
Because Facebook is designed to be addictive, I guess. Same reason why people smoke even though it's very unhealthy.
I cut back heavily on it for years and then deleted my account during covid when I noticed FB pushing toxic agendas. I told everyone in my life to quit as well. I am the only one who is off of it and my life is better and I never missed it to begin with.

Hopefully the Democrats won't chicken out and regulate the fuck out of them. Break Google, Meta, X, all of them up. Tax the fuck out of them.
