The “Age of the New Oligarchies in America” is firmly here
The grip that "The Wealthiest Billionaires" of America and the World have over everyone else, is breathtakingly huge, in ways we are only starting to grasp
I haven’t read or watched nearly as much news over the last month or so, leading up to January 20th.
In this last week, I realize why I haven’t. I wanted to tune the Trump noise out, not realizing that the worst was yet to come. We are only six days into Trump’s second Administration, and to say that this second term of Trump’s is more disastrous than his first term is already an understatement1.
I feel duped, and I feel really dumb even talking to Trump supporters. I’m having a hard time coming to grips with the new reality we entered years ago. All this technology and AI and deep fakes have led us to this predicament. The chaos of this world that we just watched on TV is seeping into all our lives2.
I’m not meaning to have a pessimistic view on things, but the amount of damage Trump is already inflicting on this country in six days is at a breathtaking pace3. Sending ICE officials to take kids out of schools to deport them4. Even the threat of this is sickening. Pardoning 1500 people from the January 06, 2021, capitol insurrection5 is a complete undermining of all the laws in place.
Pete Hegseth getting into power as Secretary of Defense6. And no, I’m not going to give Mitch McConnell flowers for voting against him, as McConnell could have stopped Trump many times during his first term7. Namely, McConnell could have pushed hard for Trump to be convicted at his last impeachment hearing8.
How we the American people have amnesia so quickly. Abortion restrictions are again getting reinforced all over the place9. God, I hope none of the three liberal Justices of the Supreme Court die or become impaired while Trump is in power10.
Seeing the wealthiest man in the world do a Nazi Salute11 to a large crowd the day Trump was inaugurated was not only incredibly awkward but just felt incredibly ominous. And the fact that Musk made jokes about Nazi’s on his Twitter/X platform a few days after the ADL cleared his name of wrongdoing…is just ridiculous12.
Welcome to the “Age of Oligarchy” ladies and gentlemen.
I’m raising the alarm bells now, again!
Too many people have danced over liberals' graves over this, but I’m truly terrified that those very people might not realize that they are dancing over their own graves too.
