The greatest trick the oligarchy ever pulled was convincing the world it didn’t exist. They counted on their voters not knowing what the word oligarchy even meant. Mission accomplished.
Same people who didn’t Google tariffs and looked up to see if there was a way they could have changed their vote, probably
Don’t worry, pretty sure education is going to be made illegal in America during the next 4 years.
It’s been an Oligarchy since they allowed unlimited bribes through corporate lobbies…..
The dumbest thing about this is the oligarchy told us about the oligarchy.
Dumbest Western country. I know it’s not a nice thing to say and I know it’s not everybody, But damn. Y’all just let this happen, And I wish it weren’t just the beginning.
Reminds me about the Brexit lol
After voting for the Brexit the most searched term was “what’s the EU?”
The Greatest Con of the Modern Era has been billionaires convincing the working class that other working-class people are the problem.
That its the poor immigrant who’s looking for a better life who’s at fault and not the Oligarchs that fund mass disinformation campaigns, buy politicians, control the media, and hord wealth stifling the economy.
To be fair, maybe they just didn’t know the word.
I’m sure most Americans are thrilled to be ruled by people who put money before anything else. I mean, if they didn’t want Musk and Bezos to squeeze every last penny out if them, they would have voted differently… or voted at all.
No, the Americans are right where they want to be. Where they deserve to be.
The fact that the Democrats couldn’t communicate this during the election is truly maddening. They were running against Trump’s goofiness and general assholery.
But they need to talk BIG themes! They needed to explain BIG IMPORTANT things to people.
They honestly ran against him like he was a toddler. Which I understand, in a sense. He’s a grown-up, spoiled, evil, toddler.
But that didn’t help the Gen pop understand the key changes coming for all our freedoms and democracy.
Ugh.
Yep. This is how democracies die
Maga propaganda worked overtime during the campaign season. Really wish people would have taken 5 minutes to look at counterpoints BEFORE they voted
Next popular search will be “why are eggs getting more expensive?”
Less a dumb election more a dumb electorate. There is a reason Trump said he loved the uneducated
Saying the election was dumb isn’t accurate. Dumbest voters makes more sense.
I doubt the uninformed voters, MAGA, or non voters were magically interested in watching Biden speak and then taking it an extra step to look up a word they didn’t understand.
It has always had a dash of oligarchy really.
That’s why education is so important. It’s for this that the Trumpies want to get rid of it. And it is already too basic in the USA (hence the issues now).
And for those that say that history lessons are not needed…. you’re just simple minds then.
Trump won for second time – that’s enough of evidence that it was dumbest election ever, looks like majority of US citizens are dumb people, even if it’s only 2 millions more, it was enough
I read something like that the top Google search on election day was questioning why Biden wasn’t on the ballot. Some people are just totally disconnected. Must be nice.
It’s been an oligarchy for a long time. I guess people are just starting to notice.
oh no! the current oligarchy is warning us of another oligarchy!
The thing that gets me is that the people voter for this are the very same people who worship the constitution the hardest.
Again thus is why they want to get rid of the department of education. Stupid people easy to control. Education is so incredibly important and most people don’t see it.
Dumbest voters ever.
What do you mean taking shape?! It’s fully formed and about to wreck shit.
Do you guys seriously don’t think the democrats are also representing the oligarchy?
Like come on guys y’all can’t be this naive.
Biden and the Attorney General could’ve done something about it telling us that they’re very end. Fuck him.
ALL voters chose the oligarchy. it’s the only option and has been for decades and decades
Guess they haven’t heard of Putin. 😏
That’s a bit dishonest.
People knowing what oligarchy means wouldn’t have change much things.
I don’t recall Trump saying “the rich will reign”.
Because even without knowing what it means, I don’t think people would have been on board with a government ruled by rich CEOs.
Democratie can only be as good as the average citizen’s education. Found public school found democratie.
While everyone is googling why don’t they add kleptocracy to their search?
Well maybe democrats shouldn’t tackle every election with kids gloves.
You think Americans are dumb now, wait until the Republicans get rid of the Dept of education. Their goal is to keep voters stupid…yet, MAGA voters are already too stupid to see it.
They also might want to look up the meaning of the words “taking shape”.
The search for ‘what is Brexit?’ spiked after everyone voted for Brexit
Meanwhile it’s more of a plutocracy than an oligarchy, but hey, may as well just use words and things because someone else said them. While I get plutocracy are essentially oligarchies, it at more appropriately describes how and why the rise of the few WEALTHY have all the power.
Maybe the opposition needs to start explaining what the Oligarch are and what they want to do, rather than using words they assume the common voter understands.
It doesn’t matter how succinct your point is, if the people voting don’t understand it.
Drain the swamp so that there’s more room for my buddies.
He does love the uneducated..
Law #1 of human stupidity states that everyone always and inevitably underestimates the number of stupid people in circulation. This is largely due to the fact that many stupid people may have some characteristic of not being stupid, like a high-paying job or glasses.
Everyone lost this election and half of them are about to find out.
It’s been an oligarchy for nearly a century.
Just like the ‘what is the EU’ searches that happened the day after we voted to leave.
Americans doing absolutely nothing to beat the allegations.
