Out with one unified purpose and one single goal with no deviation.

Maybe most of them are nasty Republicans, but some are definitely on our side. The only two billionaires I ever met, a hedge fund manager in Dallas, and CNN founder Ted Turner, were definitely and actively on our side. Any who would lump them in together with Bezos and Musk would lump AOC together with Lauren Boebert.
