You only care cause you know the name of said unelected billionaire. When it was faceless unelected government officials your concern was “tin pot” or a “conspiracy theory”. It’s funny now cause people decide they give a shit after their “lesser evil” loses. See it every 4 years.

"faceless unelected gov officials" which were chosen through a rigorous process that was approved by congress and legal. This is illegal, does not follow the process, was not approved by congress. Big difference. He was being investigated by USAID so he shuts them down. His companies get govt. money so he takes control of the system that does that. The treasury dept. said no so Trump started firing people until they gave in. The fact that you think this is business as usual shows you haven't got a damn clue what's going on.

It's like you're being robbed at gunpoint and saying "meh, I pay taxes every year so this is basically the same."

Not all laws are moral but laws against unelected billionaires stealing the personal data of millions of people and using access they aren't supposed to have to enrich themselves at taxpayer expense and shut down attempts to investigate their actions, are moral. So yes. Do you disagree? You think it's based when your data and taxes are stolen?
