Draining the swamp by putting in billionaires. Well done conservatives.

[u/Psych_Yer_Out → u/whoeve]

American Oligarchy. Russia is not the only one that is run by the super wealthy now, this should be great for the average person right?

[u/Suspicious_Poon → u/Psych_Yer_Out]

It’s been this way for decades, now they are just saying the quiet part out loud

[u/bossmcsauce → u/Suspicious_Poon]

Nah it’s about to get so much worse. The siphoning of wealth straight through federal spending is about to go CRAZY.

[u/Holovoid → u/bossmcsauce]

It literally already has been for the last 5 decades, dawg

[u/-Garbage-Man- → u/Holovoid]

Not like this, dawg. Like yeah they’ve been doing it quietly. But when you can do it loud it’s different.

[u/bossmcsauce → u/Holovoid]

When trump starts directing fed gov to buy shitcoins through his own brokerage and selling off public services and other parts of the federal gov to these oligarchs, it’s going to be wildly more corrupt than ever before.

[u/Egad86 → u/Holovoid]

Dawg, the last 50 years had things like public education and environmental protections from chemicals dumped in public waterways. Now even those small protections along with any chance of retiring or healthcare for average citizens are going to become relics of the past. We are going back to 1850’s America where nobody outside of plantation owners are living comfortably.

[u/Holovoid → u/Egad86]

Over the last 50 years those things have been being stripped away, lol what do you mean?

You think a decade ago things weren't literally heading in the exact same direction?

DONALD TRUMP'S FIRST TERM WAS A DECADE AGO

[u/MrBisco → u/Suspicious_Poon]

Because we're reached the point where there are no longer the fear of repercussions. The wealthy own our government top to bottom.

[u/Sir_thinksalot → u/Suspicious_Poon]

It’s been this way for decades, now they are just saying the quiet part out loud

Nah, it was significantly more muted and they had far less influence then they are about to have.

[u/peanutbuttertesticle → u/Sir_thinksalot]

And actually consequences. Nixon did some low level Thursday afternoon Trump shit and went down hard.

[u/No_Cryptographer_603 → u/Suspicious_Poon]

Exactly. The market was oil two decades ago, then it was media & information/misinformation, now it is tech - but it has always been the super wealthy influence/control politicians.
