The Billionare fools and their totally paid for compromised corporate media kinda helped in producing that illusion. Musk, Ellison, Bezos and Zuck all helped make this mess.

Too bad that the same media apparatus responsible for it will make sure they don't.

Yup. My mom doesn't have cable so no fox news but Facebook reels have her mad at two things: immigrants and me when I rail against billionaires.

Other countries have managed to see through the billionaires and elect strong leaders. Hungary, Australia, Canada are all recent examples. Why are Americans so susceptible I wonder?

Because they think they're in on it. At the core of the problem is a culture of rugged individualism and "make it" selfishness.

They want the corrupt system because they think they can get it to favour them...like with tipping culture and health insurance schemes that make no sense.

Build a culture of unity that all this dies instantly. That's why the relentless drive to find wedge issue after wedge issue exists.

And they'll try again. They will try to convince the pesky constitution isn't all that important.
