The MAGA crowd is at it again.
In case you weren’t aware, Bernie Marcus, the founder of Home Depot, is a big, fat, ultra-Right wing, MAGA-loving Capitalist. Quite literally, Capitalism runs through this man’s veins; it’s embedded in his DNA at this point. And with modern-day Capitalism comes a devout loyalty and love for the ultra-Right’s own Dear Leader Donald Trump.
The billionaire Home Depot co-founder made his stance crystal clear when he sat down for a chat with The Financial Times and proceeded to declare to the world (or, at least, anyone who still listens to his ridiculous drivel) that the American people as a whole are just too “fat, lazy, and stupid” to get a job, work hard, and help him climb the Capitalism ladder to even bigger billionaire-hood heights — and it’s all at the fault of “woke” Socialism. Because why wouldn’t it be, right?
In his interview, Marcus told the publication that he’s “worried about capitalism” in the United States and made sure to note that he believes the majority of the blame is on “the woke people,” in addition, of course, to Joe Biden, human resource departments, and bureaucrats, of course.

Marcus told the Times:
Capitalism is the basis of Home Depot, millions of people have earned this success and had success. I’m talking manufacturers, vendors and distributors and people that work for us (who have been) able to enrich themselves by the journey of Home Depot. That’s the success. That’s why capitalism works.”
The Home Depot founder went on to hammer on the ages-old, steeped-in-racism trope of the “Welfare Queen” when he mocked American people, saying, “‘Just give it to me. Send me money. I don’t want to work — I’m too lazy, I’m too fat, I’m too stupid.'”
Wouldn’t you know, the 93-year-old Capitalist billionaire donated literal millions to Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, and was a devout backer of Donald’s unsuccessful 2020 run for re-election.
