A the top end there is a lot of coordination, big money conservatives get together at CPAC and other venues to make plans, each political party is a powerful coordinated force of elites, they are all on each other's boards, etc.
However this article did not present any evidence of any given group of elites doing this, for this reason, so...
- stanleydrew 3y agoYeah I don't generally disagree, but the coordination usually has a more specific goal with more specific actions. Like, let's spend a bunch of money to buy ads supporting some legislation so that we can get lower taxes. Let's use our influence over corporate decision making to try to get people to use buildings in order to prop up commercial real estate asset prices feels like a bank-shot at best.
- FrustratedMonky 3y agoMaybe these points were assumed? Doesn't everyone know that corporations Boards, and C-suit, and Republican donors, etc, etc, etc.. All vacation together, meet together, perhaps even chug beers with Supreme Court Justices together. Does the author really need to 'prove' this in order to reference it??? This whole post is people arguing about what level of 'coordination' does it take before we can call it a 'conspiracy'. There isn't any 'conspiracy', it's just friendly chatting and innuendo, but of course there is a common 'problem with a solution we should perhaps generally steer towards (wink)'.
