Sure, but there's also a single-dotted-line from the crypto libertarian "brogrammer" class to the republican party elite.
I have the sense that a democratic legislature (Warren, et al.) are a lot more hostile to scams perpetrated against the naïve. It is why, eg., sports betting failed to pass in California.
One thing which often goes missing, somehow, in the discussion of Trump is he's a scam artist and perpetrator of old-fashioned pyramids. Not in some political muckraking kinda way, but in a has-gone-to-court-and-been-found-out kinda way.
My point being that SBT's donations should not be equivocated with endemic scam-artistry in certain segements of the elite -- which is a far more serious matter .
