Someone on Bluesky just made a point that stabbed me in the eye:
The ENTIRE STORY about the current US presidential election campaign is: it's Joe Biden vs. the fat cats—Business Plot 2.0, as Shiv Ramdas put it.
And look what newspaper of record carried water for the coup conspirators in 1933/34?
Elite defection to the side of fascism isn't new.
The donor class, and other elites, have always hated accountability, taxes, oversight, regulations, and democracy.
Goal: Unfettered exercise of power & a feudalistic aristocracy reborn.
