    Patriotic Millionaires: 

    Welcome to the KAKISTOCRACY.

    Blame the Democratic Establishment.

     

    WASHINGTON, DC – Early this morning, Donald Trump was projected as the winner of the 2024 Presidential election.

    In response, Morris Pearl, Chair of the Patriotic Millionaires and a former managing director at BlackRock, Inc., released the following statement: 

    “A self-avowed authoritarian successfully wielded the economic frustrations of millions to win the most consequential election of our nation’s history. The Democratic establishment has only itself to blame. Voters demanded a fundamental overhaul of a rigged economic system. When neo-liberal Democrats dithered, Donald Trump offered to clear the board, and voters chose the dark unknown rather than the status quo.  

    The only question remaining is, why are Democrats surprised? This is the entirely predictable result of a multi-decade strategy to appease the rich that met no serious resistance.

    This round went to the oligarchs. But rest assured, Patriotic Millionaires will rise to the fight. We’ve only just begun.”
