In an extraordinary display of "doublethink," Democrats are planning a show of strength on Labor Day as part of their "No Kings" campaign against President Donald Trump.

"Doublethink" is a term from George Orwell's novel 1984, referring to an authoritarian state controlling its citizens by forcing those citizens to hold two conflicting ideas at the same time.

On Labor Day, Democrats plan a "Workers Over Billionaires" series of protests around the nation, emphasizing President Trump's personal fortune, even as Democrats are led by billionaires and the very rich.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is believed to control billions of dollars as an heir to the Hyatt Hotels business empire and is believed by some to be preparing a run for the presidency in 2026.

He was one of those Democrat leaders to whom errant Texas lawmakers ran when they fled the state in August to temporarily stop a redistricting bill in the Legislature and to nationally publicize the effects of gerrymandering.

Both Republicans and Democrats often utilize gerrymandering.

It is an example of Orwell's doublethink to understand that your political party is run by the rich, who are organizing protests against political parties run by the very wealthy..

Of course the top donor to Democrats, both in public political contributions and possibly dark money, is George Soros, considered one of the richest men in the world, and who President Trump has said should be criminally charged for supporting "violent protests."

And while perhaps the frontrunner for the Democrats' presidential primary nomination, California Governor Gavin Newsom, isn't a billionaire, his net worth is estimated to be about $30 million and the website Celebrity Net Worth points out that Newsom's wife, a filmmaker, is the primary source of the couple's wealth.

The exact size of Mrs. Newsom's family fortune is not known, but she is the primary source of the couple's wealth, and is "the daughter of Ken Siebel, an extremely successful investment manager," the website notes.

And former President Joe Biden is estimated to be worth between 10-and-15 million dollars, having gained about $4 million during his four years as president.

But no one beats former President Bill Clinton for monetary gains in and out of office; a millionaire when he took the oath of office of President of the United States in 1993, he increased his "original net worth by more than a whopping 9,000 percent" while in the White House.

President Clinton reportedly had increased his $1.3 million bank account when he took the presidency to about $120 million eight years later.
