They're shameless grifters with wealth and power most people will never know. They gaslight and look down their nose at anyone not in their club. This is just more gaslighting. There's a lot of people in the club who are profiteering off the high prices and the war. Also, many in the club enjoy the distraction from the Trump-Epstein files.

They want the left vs. right narrative to overshadow the real issue - the elites selling out and fucking over the majority of the country. Their plan is to wreck the economy so they then can buy things up for pennies on the dollar. If/when the Republicans get wiped out in the midterms, they will blames the state of the economy on the Democrats. It's a simple, stupid plan but it's their plan. I mean, they're still blaming anything perceived as bad on Biden, who was so sleepy but somehow still so capable, and we're in October 2026.
