8. Agreed, but the masses are not forced at gunpoint to eat it up

Poor education, religious indoctrination and a lazy willingness to never question the path of least resistance brings the mass misery. If “the wealthy” try to sell cars with five wheels, they will fail because it is immediately obvious to even the dumbest moron that the thing is nit drivable. If Republican agrarian policies are the eqivalent to the five wheeled car, you would THINK that farmers, those closest to the economics of the business, would never vote Republican. And yet, they did in droves. I blame the local churches before I blame “the wealthy.” Big Ag is wealthy, but a conglomerate owner only has one vote, just like each of the thirty thousand small famers who voted themselves into bankruptcy.

Kamala Harris told them they would fare much worse under Trump. Their local pastors in their small town churches mostly told them the opposite. They may well be getting Republican bribes to do it. Use the FBI to expose them, not to expel tomato pickers in Florida or strawberry pickers in Alabama.

Just sending Musk, the Mercers, the Kushners and the Murdochs into a defective bathysphere on a one-way tour of the Titanic won’t solve the problem, other than providing half a day of Schadenfreude. Removing the Secretaries of Education and HHS and restoring both departments to powerful entities out to work for the public good would be far more effective, and longer-lasting.
