Zero surprise Oklahoma was the state with the highest search rate
Vote first, ask questions later
Our first clue should have been when we learned about the gilded age and how the new deal was in response to that and the Great Depression and that The Business Plot was the industrial response to that and how a majority of people in this country don’t know what those things are. It’s even wilder knowing what Edward Bernays did and how we never hear his name in this country. We are some of the most heavily brainwashed people on this entire planet
Edit: here is a great BBC documentary about Edward Bernays

Reminds me of how tariff searches took off in early November…
As an American, this stupidity is so fucking annoying
It’s mind blowing to me that so many people think the oligarchy is just beginning now. People, this has been our government for over 60 years.
Biden says the word Oligarch with 47 seconds left on clock and now people are listening to this man. #clutch
It dawned on me that the US was an oligarchy in middle school in like 2003.
Reminds me of the spike in “is biden running for president” searches on Election Day. Also, the spike in searches for the musician Chuck Mangione in December.
People are morons.
No, the billionaire and his billionaire friends really care about me and want to protect me from the elites! /s
Note how Oklahoma — a state that all voted trump and lies on the lowest rung of the education ladder in the US — is the one who looked that up the most
So this is how I find out that Biden said the word in his farewell speech
Reminds me of the popularity of the search, “what is Brexit?” After voting to leave the EU in England…
we act like this country hasn’t been controlled by people behind the scenes for centuries 😂
Swing states being the dark blues on this map just throws salt on the wound.
Vote for a billionaire, get an oligarchy.
The rest of the world: “Well, nice, absolutly, but it … just … you know, would be nice – i mean for us – if you had started a tiny bit earlier. Just for *points at the world in flames* reasons, you know.”
And the situation got exponentionally worse when the Supreme Court ruled that a President cannot be prosecuted for anything he does in his capacity as President. The new guy (who is also the old guy) was THE wrong person to have that knowledge.
The people of Russia know very well what they are, and the people of the US will know the same at the end of Trumps term.
What’s interesting to me is that enough people watched Biden’s farewell address to cause any sort of search spike!
It has been an oligarchy for a long time. Elon just finally ripped the blinders off a lot of people’s eyes.
Why are they concerned about that now, specifically? I mean, it’s been a problem for ~~years~~ ~~decades~~ almost the entire time
next time google before you vote
if there is a next time
There is a good chuck of the population (myself included) that didn’t screw around) and we’re still gonna find out because of the idiots who did…
As an American I am incredibly disappointed in my fellow countryman. Luckily i live in a staunchly democratic state with a governor who has already said he will defend his people from the Trump regime.
Part of me is looking forward to all the people who voted for this Oompa Loompa hitler to realize the huge mistake they made.
Whats funny to me is they are searching oligarchy when they should be searching fascism and dictatorship.
Its honestly terrifying when you see members of congress and upper echelon of government who get replaced in days when they speak freely against some of his ideas at all.
America voted to throw away the bill of rights while at the same time claiming they’re the true americans.
Given the state if the education system can they read/ understand the results?
Day after the election: “what are tariffs”. Democrats and media overall really blew it on messaging
Funny how it’s all the battleground states.
Like everyone else knows what’s up, but the ones whose choices really meant something are now the ones that are concerned.
Lmao the “poorly uneducated” trump loves so dearly. Guess that’s a big, big word!

The cheers after always get me.
All this happened with dems controlling the presidential office 12 out of the past 16 years, and Reddit keeps supporting that shit.
Your country has been an oligarchy for decades, but suddenly it matters?
It’s funny that this search is higher in red states. It’s almost like their education has failed them.
