1. Funded by modern robber baron GOP billionaire donors

Ultimate fault likes on the GOP donor billionaires who run the propaganda media that created all this hate in America.

Murdoch, Limbaugh, Mercer, Koch, Ailes, Koch, Scaife, Olin, Luntz, Norquist.

These men are guilty of inducing Americans to hate each other for their own personal profit.
