(36,023 posts)The 2014 Princeton/Northwestern study on oligarchy shows that across five presidential administrations, Congress does what the vast majority of Americans want only 1% of the time.
The richest 1,600 families haven't formalized their intent among themselves, but the effects are the same as if they had. They just don't want to have to come right out and tell everyone that they intend to run this country without the messiness of negotiating with so-called inferiors -- even though it's clear to the rest of us that the representatives they've bought have made a colossal mess of everything at home and abroad, with their mercenary misadventures -- from Ron Reagan to Kim Davis -- their mollifying self-serving narratives of 'expertise,' 'finance,' 'progress,' and their militaristic enforcement of public and racial 'order.'
This campaign is going to be about us getting in front of our irrelevance or theirs. They would all love for us to becoming self-defeating through infighting. It would solidify their belief in their own superiority.
