The Koch Brothers and Their Allied Donors Are Working as a Union for Rich People

The Koch brothers spent a record breaking $412 million on the election, more than what the top 10 unions in the United States had donated combined. They helped create the movement that morphed into Trumpism, but during its evolution they lost control of it. Donald Trump was exactly the kind of conservative they did not want to see win election. So they cut their election spending by hundreds of millions of dollars and put a huge chunk of what they were going to still spend into state races instead.
