The United States is the only place on earth where poor people shun labor unions, free healthcare, and free education because rich people tell them to.

I, like many of you, have been contemplating our predicament since election night.

We are in a losing war for our democracy and I'm not sure we collectively know who our true adversary is.

It's not the voting blocks...white women, Latinos, Gen X. It's not MAGA. It's not even Trump.

It's an insidious power that has been hiding in the shadows for some time...and when the stakes were at their highest in this election, it fully revealed itself.

The American Oligarchy.

They control our Supreme Court, much of Congress, and the flow of information to the masses via legacy, mainstream and social media.

They decide the national conversation, how to keep us at each other's throats while they continue to amass wealth and power completely unchecked.

They put their thumbs on the scale of justice and poured billions into this election. They chose Trump because he was desperate and would capitulate to their demands. They chose a running mate to replace him in case he became too unhinged to control.

Consider how many disqualifying facts about Trump never saw the light of day...or didn't get the attention they deserved...or got drowned out by propaganda. They took a mentally spent buffoon and presented him as a hero to the masses.

Despite Biden successfully steering us out of a global recession and strengthening our economy, they maintained the national tone about the price of groceries being too high. Despite Trump's obvious mental decline, their media outlets remained reticent to press the issue.

We struggle to unite as a nation because they're too good at keeping us divided. We are drowning in disinformation because they control all of it.

They have successfully created imaginary villains for us to fight...each other.

It seems like we are a democracy careening towards fascism, when the reality is they're using the specter of fascism to keep us on edge while they turn America into a compliant oligarchy.

Whether you are a democrat, republican, independent or MAGA, we have a common foe.

Some of us just don't know it yet.

are we allowed to say it was rigged or can only they do that…

America hates the idea of a woman President SO much that they voted for an adjudicated rapist who reminded them days before the election he grabs 'em by the pussy "whether they like it or not."

@JLucroy20 Didn’t Elon Musk offer to literally give peeps a million bucks if they voted for Trump? Ain’t that the definition of “given free stuff for votes”?

Paying $13M for the repairs necessary to keep the Ontario Science Centre open through to 2034 would have been the equivalent of reducing the $200 pre-election handout cheques to $199.19.

There were literally 3 MAGA people outside of Steve Bannon's press conference 🤣💀 So I sang to them my hit song "My MAGA Side Girl" til they went away! We defeat MAGA by laughing harder at them!🌊

Pls rt so Elon has to pay me TWITTER AD revenue money! 🌊💙

[Just Jack @7Veritas4]

I dare you to watch this only once.

[Jim Acosta @Acosta]

Still a bit dumbfounded that Trump was ranting about people eating pets and I’ve been covering him a while.

[Kevín @KevOnStage]

I was curious how Fox News was gonna say the debate went. So we turned it on.

[Really American 🇺🇸 @ReallyAmerican1]

Donald Trump won the coin toss to deliver his closing statement last, and he could have prepared a well thought out message.

Instead, he delivered a rambling, angry word salad that sounded like he spent no time thinking about what he was saying.

It's clear: #KamalaWonBigly

Chris Wallace: "Jake, I didn't think I was ever going to witness a debate as devastating as the one that you and Dana moderated back in June, where Joe Biden basically tanked his reelection campaign. I think tonight was just as devastating," but for Trump.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Substance over bluster.

Optimism over negativity.

And yes, a new generation over the same, old, tired show.

She crushed it tonight.
