Along with the big fails you name, please remember--and keep repeating-- the MAGA and Musk sides cheat and lie, and consider democracy inconvenient. Major international adversaries joined forces with US-based capitalists and stoked white supremacists and Christian nationalists. Capitalists' goal is to weaken government. Foreign actors' goal is to weaken the United States. The masterminds of this election/coup are very sophisticated and have been playing a long game.

I'm not sure divorced women of tech billionaires are here to save us. Some are great like the ones you mentioned. And some bankroll RFK Jr's campaign and become his VP nominee (https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/10/23/nicole-shanahan-maga-make-america-healthy-trump-rfk-jr/). Read the article, her story is crazy. Raised in Oakland, meets Sergey Brin during her bachelorette party, gets with him instead, marries him, sleeps with Elon, gets $1B in a divorce settlement that she then uses to support RFK and then Trump on an anti-vaccine message.

Hoping billionaires marry and then divorce / get divorced from ideological allies works out sometimes, and sometimes it doesn't.

you are absolutely right!

the divorced women of tech billionaires are politically a mixed bag. for sure.

and seems like there is a higher chance that they're mad as hell at the patriarchy and ready to do something about it
