the kochs are masters at getting positive headlines while working to dismantle rights for everyone but rich white people.
they claimed they were morally opposed to trump and they werent backing him during the 2016 election. and the media championed their principled stance.
but they ran attack ads on hillary clinton, helped repubs win majorities in both chambers of congress, completely stocked the trump admin with koch operatives (pence, pruitt, mcgahn, leo, pompeo, kobach, mulvaney, shorty, etc), and had damn near complete control of the legislative, judicial, and regulatory agenda.
there are almost 50 koch heads running agencies/departments from interior to energy to epa to treasury.
trump gets the spotlight. but from a policy standpoint...this is the koch administration.
if there really is a rift then awesome. dems should openly attack every repub taking koch money so they will get hammered by liberals *and* trump supporters.
but until i see some actual personnel changes or votes getting cast...i aint putting too much faith in it.

are one in the same. Want the same things. Racist as fuck. I don't believe any of this. Best believe Koch will give everything Trump needs to truly fuck this country after he wins re-election in 2020.
