The American public voted, by a fairly narrow margin, to hand over their government to self-dealing billionaires, con men, and criminals.

The very rich people empowered by the election made their first official post-election act failing at the basic responsibility of their job while trying to take money from the public and give it to themselves.

The press calls this “populism.”
@ngrossman81 we can only hope that the public will eventually figure out that populism is bad. Clearly we didn't learn our lesson last time
@ngrossman81 ……….. by staying home, Democrats did so as well. #lookinthemirror

@ngrossman81

It has been tried before and ended badly?

Elite Overproduction

"In many ways, the last four decades call to mind what happened in the United States between 1870 and 1900 – the time of railroad fortunes and robber barons."

"The uber-wealthy (those with fortunes greater than $10m) increased tenfold between 1980 and 2020."

"...some run for political office themselves (like Trump), others fund political candidates (like Peter Thiel). "
