I think they might just be the visible ones. Jeffrey Epstein enjoyed his wealth, as depraved as he was. If Sam Walton enjoyed his wealth, he tried really hard to hide it. He apparently did have sex, on account of having kids, but it's hard to imagine him doing it.

Seems like a cope. You can't find a right-wing millionaire to be your patron? They certainly exist, but maybe they don't care, because they're a bunch of philistines. The Walton family are a bunch of Calvinists but go check the literature section of Walmart. It's like... pirate romance novels (and Amish romance).

If Republican billionaires enjoy their wealth, they sure as hell hide it well. As far as anyone can tell, these guys genuinely like working 18-hour days in offices and going to charity dinners -- and that's their fun. Or golfing. Which is the most boring game that has ever existed. But the conservative masses out there in America don't mind since if that's what he wants to do with his wealth, more power to him.

Art's just a reflection of reality though. If the left's art is an image of cultural decline, plagues and destruction of empires, then that is a reflection. I think it's time for art celebrating decline, plague and destruction of empires to be multiplied.
