Charles T. Munger junior is an extremist right wing mega donor, behind the mailer sent out to millions

of California households quoting the "League of Woman Voter" being against redistricting, in the most devious way.

Who is Charles T. Munger junior:

"Good-government reforms have dominated much of Munger’s civic spending. But IRS filings for his CNC Foundation, which he’s funded with Berkshire Hathaway stock, outline a host of conservative causes. He gave:

$70,000 to First Resort (later renamed Third Box), which operated crisis pregnancy centers in San Francisco and the Bay Area. City leaders accused the centers of masquerading as women’s health clinics while promoting an anti-abortion agenda. San Francisco later passed an ordinance to prohibit such centers from engaging in misleading advertising.
$3,400 to the Christian Legal Society, an association of lawyers who promote a host of conservative legal causes, including celebrating the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Nearly $83,000 to Campus Crusade for Christ, which promotes religious ministries on college and middle school and high school campuses. The organization teaches that same-sex attraction is “contrary to God’s design for human sexuality” and has promoted conversion therapy.
Jodi Hicks, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California, is among those highlighting Munger’s support of conservative causes. She has been at the forefront of Democrats’ redistricting push and spoke at a news conference alongside Newsom last week.

“His contributions to those organizations speak to his values and the agenda he supports — an extreme agenda that hurts LGBTQ people, women and people of color,” Hicks said in a statement.

As Democrats or anyone against this extremist rightwing takeover of our country we need to be aware that there are nefarious parties at work that are masquerading their true goals with deceptive misinformation, and it has been going on for a long time, from the swift boating of Kerry, to the emails of Hillary.

One hopes he has some serious lessons to learn before his descent into his particular personal afterlife.

Serious lessons. Many of us learn these basics by high school graduation, but some do not. They’re just slow.

Those lessons get insurmountably expensive with time.

If everyone donates a few bucks we'll be able to get the message out and fight back against Munger and his ilk.

Just scroll down to the bottom of their homepage for the Actblue donation buttons:
