Do not let this single tweet provide you comfort that has no basis in reality. The rich and powerful are not scared of a tweet, but they are very happy you feel comforted and so placated by it.
If many thousand tweets get many thousand people on the streets to stay until a coherently developed and articulated program of change is enforced upon them, then they might might start to feel some fear.
They're scared that Mumdani beat their candidate in a huge upset.
Literally a day later there was a billionaire offering 100M (and promising to arrange 300M) for a candidate that can beat our boy. They got Cuomo to come back for the main race after he just conceded to split the vote. The media can't seem to stop reminding us he's Muslim, maga lunatics are talking about denaturalizing him, and sometimes they keep trying the socialist or naive angles that just bounce off his charisma. They even sprung his old rap videos on CNN on him during an interview
All this in days after a primary. They're panicking
They're terrified, because progressives are beating money in elections
The rich and powerful dont give a shit about any of our issues. They live on a whole other level. Now if you stop buying things that may get some fear in them.
Sounds like a very good part of a coherent plan to challenge the wealth inequality intrrinsic to fossil-fuel-powered neo-liberal capitalism, and climate change.
