#Plutocracy or #Democracy?

opednews.com/populum/page.php?

Despite much lofty rhetoric portraying the #UnitedStates as a democracy (in which the people rule), this nation, in fact, has often resembled a plutocracy (in which the #wealthy rule).

OpEd NewsPlutocracy or Democracy?Despite the lofty rhetoric portraying the United States as a democracy, it has often resembled a plutocracy (in which the wealthy rule). Over the course of U,S, history, the nation has grown more democratic -- although only by overcoming determined opposition from its traditional elites. Today, the Trump administration is working to return the U.S. government to its earlier role as a guardian of privilege.

#trump is but a reflection of #american society

it doesn't matter what trump is. there's always been people like trump

the true tragedy is that his shit personality *appeals* to so many americans

true grit, true maturity, is not rewarded in hyper#capitalism

bullying and lying is

trump is a merely the embodiment of the #usa's decline into #authoritarian #plutocracy

"yeah but the #us has always been like that"

there's always worse

this is definitely worse

In other words, rich folk #politics which is, nothing to do with witches, but is about the rich trying to be more rich. A #Plutocracy is full of rick folk saying misleading BS.

Americans let oligarchs “rob” them and thank them for doing it. In this video we’ll react to the dunkfest and explain how sad it is that Americans don’t already know the things these Chinese TikTokers are trying to teach them.

An overhaul of the #housing agency comes on the heels of a congressional deal to fund the government through Sept that increased some housing spending yet did not keep pace with rising rents & the growing demand for federal #aid. The #funding gap could result in about 32,000 #voucher recipients soon losing access to federal #housing aid… on top of additional cuts once funding runs out in a pandemic-era program that expanded voucher availability.
