    They put in the work because the oligarchs are aligned with them, so they have a basically unlimited firehose of money to pay people to shill for them.

Share content.

            So you’re saying the staff at orgs like the Heritage Foundation aren’t getting paid? Where’s their $108 million in expenses (according to Wikipedia) going, then?
