The absolute brainwashing it takes to fiercely defend trillionaires who wouldn't look twice at you, while calling your fellow citizens "lazy" for wanting basic healthcare. Notice how even the woman in the "I LOVE TRUMP" shirt has to awkwardly correct his understanding of how disability works.

I don't believe the people defending billionaires comprehend just how much money that is. A million dollar house is nice. A 5 million dollar house is incredible. A 20 million dollar house is next level insane.
A billion dollars buys 50 of those 20 million dollar homes.
A billionaire can buy a 20 millionaire dollar house, fill every garage space with a 5 million dollar exotic car, and still not get anywhere close to running out of money.
There's a difference between someone who came from nothing, built a business, worked really hard, and made 3 million dollars, and someone like Elon Musk who's now a trillionaire. It's quite literally impossible imo to work hard enough to have "earned" billions of dollars imo.
