Oh please. They love it. They are drooling at the idea of ushering in violence and fascism. They’ve been preparing for the last decade.
This is my take. Once their bottom line starts fluctuating, they'll simply find a new loophole to exploit so money keeps flowing, while slightly adjusting their fleet of yachts to a safer distance.
There's no allegiance to anything. US is just the most convenient place to generate wealth right now.
Maybe, maybe not. This has turned out differently before. Here's a tidbit from Homage to Catalonia (emphasis added):
It'll come down on if they like authoritarian control better than they like money. They're getting burned on the money part, and there's no reason to think Trump's policies will make it any better in the long run.
But don't count on them either way. They'll still enact policies that are good for billionaires, not us.
People only like authoritarian when they get to be the authority. So these folks that are getting financially screwed also have no reason to believe they would get power in exchange.
It's basically seeming like a bum deal all around.
They all attend the same parties and go to all the same social gatherings. That is pretty much all you need to know.
