True, though there are some significant distinctions between the two.

First off, the Kochs funded mostly pro-business PACs with a goal of strengthening the American economy, business landscape, and energy independence. Nothing they supported ever gravely impacted individuals, at least so far as I know.

Soros in contrast directly funds all sorts of far-Left radical candidates, especially local and state district attorneys who are openly pro-crime -- at least so long as those crimes are committed by non-white perpetrators. These fringe candidates could never have been elected without Soros dumping mountains of cash on small (and small funded) local elections. Look at the numbers. The result has been a major uptick in violent crimes in every major city he has had a hand in. And the majority of the perps are career criminals, many of whom are free on cashless bail from another recent offence. There is no deterrent.

Remember the Left's battle cry, "Citizen's United!!!!" and their constant whinging about money in politics? Now that the donkeys have become the party of the mega donors (and the control which they wield), suddenly money is no issue. Yet they still try and pretend they are the party of the working man/woman/non-binary. What they have become is the party of the super rich and the perpetually dependent. Screw the middle classes who build this country keep it going.

So yes, both the Kochs and Soros have funneled money into political causes. But the impact each has had is vastly different.
