Starting to think that the main coup underway is not Russia or Trump, but techbro billionaires using the Russia/Trump machinery to disable and dismantle the US government in the hopes of soon privatizing everything it used to do, so that citizens have to rent and subscribe to get the basic necessities of life.

Putin is probably just coincidentally ok with this, because enriching US oligarchs weakens and isolates the nation, and weakening the US allows Russia more opportunities to gather power and enrich its impoverished self.

Meanwhile, the rest of the world is watching in horror as the US collapses into a feudal prison run by oligarchs.

While it’s important to keep pressuring those in institutional positions to hold the line, I suspect the real fight is actually the one against the billionaires. Destroy their wealth and you destroy their power and political influence, and Trumpism along with it.

Overwhelming wealth inequality is the real disease, most all else is a symptom.

Just a hunch.
