A billionaire who accuses his adversaries of being paid shills, while simultaneously offering people $1,000 to cast ballots for his preferred candidate, is telling you everything you need to know about how popular he thinks his own views are, and how many people would support them without bribes.
@pluralistic Let's not forget the moment where the billionaire buying an election accused a billionaire of buying a handful of protesters, devoid of irony or, let's face it, self-awareness.
People like this just assume everyone is a paid shill or wants to be, since they think money is all that matters and that everyone must be motivated entirely by greed and nothing else, just like they are.
