Has anyone ever become a billionaire selling guillotines?

I feel like now might be good market timing to try.

Example, this "patriotic banquet" was put on by a gift card billionaire (Stérin) who pushes and funds right-wing ideas and politics. White supremacists were invited. It was not a heritage event nor spontaneous.

Another example. Weird.

And if you think this is crazy, just listen to some Newsmax radio from down south. They're basically one step away from calling for people to assassinate Democrats. It's insane.

The male announcer announces everything so aggressively. It's almost comical.

Fox quoting Mike Johnson saying the United States is turning communist for its 250th anniversary. The viewership here must be just so depressing. I don't even want to know who listens to this on the regular and believes it.

Found an example I had recorded from April 2025. I had completely forgotten I recorded this.

I listen to a lot of different news and the only news service in which the announcers say their names in a sing song style is Fox News.

Actual question, what is this about? Why do they do this? Is this appealing to conservatives?

(Edit: I should mention that I listen to Fox just to monitor what the propaganda outlet is reporting on or not reporting on. Yes, they skew very positive for Trump as compared to other news outlets.)
