Bruh what are we gonna do about this??

Adam, please join us as a Democrat in the fight to save our country from a complete oligarchy takeover. We admire you and want you with us.

I am SO proud of him for saying that…

Has been forming for 40+ years.

It formed

"The dangers of technology, power & wealth..." Haunting.

His parting speech was right on

BS Adam. It’s not forming-it’s been formed for a long time. They’re just now closing the noose.

Adam, it's a shame what's going on. Never trust maga!!! They are all liars and criminals.

Forming? The oligarchy has been around since "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union," was first scrawled on parchment. It's just way out of fucking hand now.

Skynet 1.0

It’s already here.

Joe Biden needs to blame himself for why we’re in this position.

Exactly

The oligarchy won no matter which part of the duopoly was declared President, boo

Exactly. But they think egg and gas prices will drop next week to 2020 prices cuz their boy is back Smh.

I’m not angry at Trump. He is very transparent about what he is. I am angry at those that either didn’t see him for what he is or didn’t care. People forgot that the first country the Nazis invaded was Germany.

Exactly. I replied similarly in another post.

Spot on!! 🎯

Formed

Past tense. Has formed…

And they are loving it.

Joe Biden is late. The oligarchy is here.

Biden is delusional

Hellooooo?! IT'S FORMED. IT'S HERE. IT'S IN CONTROL. They only care about their own small minority. Everyone else be damned.

Forming? No, when the same families seek same offices back to back whether Bush Clinton, or Trump, you have an oligarchy. The members-only club is steered by major parties. To break it we requires simulataneous, nationwide primaries. Give widespread democratic access, not just early voters.

“Forming?” It’s well and truly in existence & has been for years.

Just forming? Come on man!

Says the man who just awarded five billionaires the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

And unfortunately, the people who could possibly change that have been purchased by said oligarchy. Quite the conundrum, isn’t it?

How do we gut it?

Yeah, seriously. What's with this notion that we're not THERE, already? It's a bit late for the pearl-clutching and hand-wringing NOW.

It will be based on lies my musk! He’s cheap and cannot achieve anything without deception! Shows the lousy businessman he is! He’s garbage! And it will be so widespread that he will be rejected! He is no American and he keeps showing he isn’t! He cares about himself not the people of this country!

Those who benefited the most here in the US USED TO BE expected to contribute the most back to help pay our National debt.. While I agree we can find ways to make our current system more efficient cutting needed programs to benefit the wealthy is NOT the answer.. taxfoundation.org/data/all/fed...

And we missed our opportunity by not getting him in the White House.

Forming?

The Robber Baron days of old are back. When all collapses, do we know who the next F.D.R is?

Evangelicals outed themselves as true "Antichristians" when they decided to follow the literal Antichrist.

We are on the threshold of #Oligarchy. Obviously.

I’m going to miss Joe and Kamala. 🩷

It's been here for a while. It's just in the spotlight now.

yep. it's them vs the ordinary folks.

Watching President Biden now it is hard to believe that in less than a week the orange menace will be sitting at that desk. 😟

I believe it is already formed. Now, as it fails do we get our democracy back or go the way of Hungary. Trump wasn’t speaking with Orban about goulash.

Enabled and led by the Republican party.

What can we do?

There’s been a growing oligarchy in this country since Reagan, but it was Citizens United that unleashed it.

ITS FORMED

It’s been in effect for years now. It’s just consolidated under new management now. www.princeton.edu/~mgilens/idr...

Tax rates should be high enough that Billionaires cannot just buy Presidents.

He was right about everything.

Correction: there is an oligarchy formed in America. Unfortunately, MAGA will never understand that. Oligarchy is much too big of a word for them.

I would say it has formed already!

I think it’s already formed

Trump is a bad copy of Putin. But I can't wait for the Trump macho photos of him being half naked riding a horse and his black belt martial arts prowess.

—they will reconsider. For example, two house dems voted for the trans ban. But they’re democrat! So why did they vote conservative? It’s because their people blasted their phones to tell them to vote for the trans ban. So they did.

Sometimes, I think they are so close to everything that, as my grandmother used to say, "they can't see the forest for the trees"

And when billionaires hold many cabinet posts, it's an oligarchy that's right in your face.

Forming?? It’s here now!! Another rise of the Gilded Age. Adam, as always, thanks for speaking out on the issues of today!! Great respect for all that you do.

It's been this way for a long time. Until we write laws that limit dark money it will only get worse.

It's formed.

I'm an unwilling passenger on this train to hell. The responses of Canadian leaders inspire and give hope to those of us who resist.

my only question and will be for the next 4 years if literally "lawyers' show how pathetic you are regarding fighting for the rule of law bsky.app/profile/jimo...

Don’t look now, but the oligarchy is here.

It's been here. It's just coalescing.

Questions? Is Mike Johnson the American Judas? Should we call him President Trunt (combining Trump and *unt)?

Fully formed and activated.

I’m not sure it’s “forming”; it seems to be here and is growing!

Formed. Past tense. It’s already here.

I would argue we have always had one but now they are not afraid of doing it out in the open.

Like many others here, Adam, I agree that you are WRONG on this. It's not "forming" at all. It's BEEN FORMED, and it's just closing the circle. Mostly brought to us by way of YOUR VERY OWN PARTY for the last 4 decades. The whining from the traditional GOP is only because they are locked out of it

Campaign contribution limits do not apply in any meaningful way to people rich enough to own media outlets.

We should have elected Bernie in 2016.

DC be exponentially swampier than ever before. Great job, MAGA! /s

Same here. Soul sick

Where's our Smedley Butler?

Your GOP co-workers allowed this. It’s sickening.

It's already here.

I thought this was obvious!!

Apologies, sir, but that is very old news. It formed. They're finally in society-accepted power and simply do not plan to ever give it up. Not in two years, not in four. Not while MAGA exists. It's grown too big for The Orange Idiot, and is no longer led by anyone. It's much like the fires in CA.

He was wrong. It started many years ago

Joe Biden’s reference of Keeper of the flame on the Statue of Liberty brought this to mind. youtu.be/f6tYbUCGVd0

Train has left the station. Grab a cab to a few stops up and get on and derail it

And he got Eisenhower and the MIC in there. Well played.

IYKYK

It’s not forming. IT IS HERE!!

That oligarchy is already formed and will show its ugly head on and after January 20th.

Yeah, Joe. We've been telling you this for years. Why didn't you do anything about it? Why'd you put that useless invertebrate worm Merrick Garland in as AG? Huh, Joe?

taxfoundation.org/data/all/fed...

Not the first time we have fought them and won… Or have we been lulled into complacency this time?

Biden should've been making this point loud and clear, right through the last four years. It's not just about doing the right stuff, but demonstrating every day that you're doing the right stuff.

Joe Biden is about 6 months too late on that realization

It's already there in the capitalist economy.

Until we change the way we fund campaigns, this won’t change. Elected officials don’t represent us. They represent the entities who pay for their expensive campaigns.

Boy Susie, you got that right. Given the January 6 outrage, Biden should’ve chucked the norms and told Garland to start the prosecution in February 2021. Trump would be in jail today. Better yet appoint Stewart Whitehead as Attorney General and stand back and watch the fireworks

It formed under Teflon Ron

Forming? Buddy, it’s built. Citizens United cemented it in.

Seriously, How do you fight against an oligarchy?

So Scary

Formed.

Water is wet.

Rising authoritarianism worldwide inspired me to write an allegorical trilogy on the perils of fascism: 1) unnecessary war, 2) failed democracy & resulting climate crisis, & 3) racially-motivated subjugation. Check out The Antunite Chronicles. amazon.com/dp/B0B1JNBCTK?

I wish he had made a connection to a Putin style oligarchy government.

What can we do??

Because a lot of stupid that has been forming for decades cleared a path for it.

How do average Americans fight this. I'm almost 70 and I am so afraid for the future

“Forming?!” It’s formed and in full motion!
