(7,234 posts)and when you think about it, the Obama Presidency has made a lot of gun manufacturers, gun shops and right wing groups very wealthy. They've sold millions of flags, pins, tee-shirts, guns, ammo, fear, NRA memberships then there are all of the right wing websites who have made a killing in ADS.
Guns in particular arent exactly cheap but the people who buy them have disposable income due to either being wealthy business owners, retired police or military, etc and this has made the gun industry unbelievably rich.
If there is a republican presidency, all of that goes away so it might not be in big business interest to have a republican in the White House and if you remember, other than cheap Chinese made American flags and bumper stickers, right wing groups werent making much money during the Bush administration.
All of this makes me wonder about what Trump is truly up to since he is a big business guy.
Exactly.
