And when it \u2064comes to funding the so-called &#8220;democracy,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-media-hide-largest-update-to-our-immigration-system-in-30-years\/\" title=\"White House, Media Hide 'Largest Update to Our Immigration System in 30 Years'\">multi-billionaires<\/a> \u200bare\u2064 more than willing to open their\u200b wallets.\u2064 In fact, they might even go so far\u2062 as to sabotage the primary of the opposing party if it serves their interests.<\/p>\n<h3>A Generous Donation to President Joe Biden<\/h3>\n<p>One \u200dsuch multi-billionaire is Barry \u2062Diller, the founder of Fox Broadcasting Group and USA Broadcasting, and a senior executive of IAC and Expedia Group. According \u2062to the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/08\/17\/media-mogul-maxes-donations-to-chris-christie-and-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Post<\/a>, Diller has recently donated over $100,000 to\u200d the re-election campaign of President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>But here&#8217;s where \u200bit gets interesting. Diller has also given $50,000 to support the presidential campaign of Republican Chris \u200cChristie,\u200b the former\u2062 governor\u2064 of New \u2063Jersey. \u200cThis follows a growing trend of Democrats \u200ctrying to influence Republican primary elections.<\/p>\n<h3>Democrats Interfering in Republican Primaries<\/h3>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2022\/09\/12\/democrats-interfere-republican-primaries\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Washington Post<\/a>, Democrats spent tens\u200d of\u2062 millions \u200dof dollars before\u2063 the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/donald-trump-jr-outlines-future-of-maga-movement\/\" title=\"Donald Trump Jr. outlines future of MAGA movement\">2022 midterm elections<\/a> to prop up \u2063Republican primary candidates whom they perceived \u200bas weaker and easier to defeat in the general election.<\/p>\n<p>However, this strategy didn&#8217;t always produce the desired results.\u200c The \u200dPost calculated that Democrats spent a whopping $53.3 million in 13 different Republican primaries, but less \u200cthan half of their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/radical-cultural-change-coming-to-america\/\" title=\"Radical Cultural Change Coming to America?\">preferred candidates<\/a> actually won.<\/p>\n<p>Despite \u200cthese mixed results,\u200c <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/huston-aaron-rodgers-is-right-everyone-knows-not-to-take-medicines-you-are-allergic-to\/\" title=\"Huston: Aaron Rodgers is Right, Everyone Knows Not to Take Medicines You Are Allergic To\">liberals continue<\/a> to persist in their efforts. They have even\u2064 donated to Chris Christie, with contributions ranging from modest\u200c amounts to more substantial sums.<\/p>\n<h3>The Real Motive: A Pathological Obsession with Donald \u200bTrump<\/h3>\n<p>So why are liberals supporting Christie? The answer lies in \u2062their pathological \u2063obsession with former President Donald Trump. They want\u2064 someone who can take on Trump in debates and potentially prevent his \u200breturn to power.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Kara Swisher, \u200dthe host of Vox Media&#8217;s &#8220;On with Kara Swisher&#8221; podcast, gave Christie a modest $5. \u2062She explained her reasoning on a recent episode of her podcast, stating, &#8220;I want him to be on the stage.\u2063 I want\u200d him to \u2062reach that number. And I \u200dreally like debates. I watch them, and I think it&#8217;s important that Trump has someone who actually \u200bcan take him on a little \u200cbetter.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s\u2063 not just Swisher who is\u200b showing support for \u200bChristie. Barry\u2064 Diller, with a \u200dnet worth of $3.8 \u2064billion\u2062 according\u200b to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/billionaires\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Forbes<\/a>, has\u2064 also made\u2063 a significant contribution. Despite \u2062Christie&#8217;s low favorability among registered Republicans and his low \u200cpolling numbers for the presidential nomination, Diller \u200dsees his campaign as a worthwhile investment.<\/p>\n<h3>Stopping Trump at All Costs<\/h3>\n<p>In \u2063an email to the New York\u2062 Post, Diller made his motive clear:\u200c &#8220;I think nominating Donald Trump \u200dhas such destructive \u2064consequences that supporting Chris Christie&#8217;s campaign to stop that\u200d from happening is something I very much support. I \u2062also like and respect Christie.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s evident that for Diller and other mega-rich liberals, stopping Trump is their\u200c top \u200cpriority. Whether they \u200btruly take Christie seriously or not is\u2062 up for \u200ddebate. But\u2062 one thing\u200c is \u2064certain \u2013\u2063 their \u200dactions and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/joe-biden-megadonor-gives-max-contribution-to-trump-gop-rival-other-liberals-follow-his-lead\/\" title=\"Biden's top donor supports Trump's GOP opponent, inspiring other liberals to do the same.\">donations speak\u2062 volumes<\/a> \u200cabout their determination to prevent Trump&#8217;s return to power.<\/p>\n<p>Living in a world far removed from the concerns of ordinary Americans,\u2063 these multi-billionaires have the power to shape the political \u200dlandscape. And if they\u200c can convince themselves that they represent &#8220;democracy,&#8221; then they can convince themselves of anything.<\/p>\n<p>Source:\u200c <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/joe-biden-megadonor-gives-max-contribution-trump-gop-rival-liberals-follow-lead\/\">Joe Biden\u200b Megadonor Gives Max Contribution\u200d to \u2062Trump GOP Rival, Other\u200c Liberals Follow \u2064His Lead<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Multi-billionaires persist in financing the &#8220;democracy&#8221; party, even resorting to undermining rival primaries.
