To fight Oligarchy there needs to be an end to Lobbyist, no payment to join a committee, no focus on party fund raising, legislative term limits. An overhaul on the tax system designed to make the rich richer. A long shot...if a company gets a Gov. Contract a percentage of $ is shared with workers.

I am looking for a country that was once a fascist regime and now a democratic nation. Not staying in one going in the opposite direction. And for those who think we can fix this mess...good luck. Billionaires that control everything from media to politicians are our true oppressors.

I cannot stay in the USA anymore. I want to leave, I am humiliated and embarrassed to watch how a never perfect but once Representative Republic has nose dived into a fascist Oligarchy, spewing hate, feeding chaos and ready to ruin the lives of so many.

I wish I could trust anyone one in government. It's two teams, "profiting" from fans and sowing discontent and the people who "own" these teams rake in the money and power. Our Republic died a long time ago. A vampire has risen to suck us all dry. How many fear to stop him?

History of Fascist regimes show how leaders filled cabinet seats with unqualified people to create imbalance and power grabbing. This give the leader them more control, and excuses to remove people, win their full support and) manipulate them into doing what they are told not have any real control.

That's like saying paying hush money is politically better than being called a rapist. Just so disappointed in how USA could've done more to stop a terrorist-dictator. Now Putin's fanboy will be making fascism great again.

This isn't a Democratic Representative Republic....it's a Plutocracy. Only way to change is no more lobbyist and Representative term limits. Two things that will never happen.

How do you suppress the oligarchs who own the government? I say our government is three 'P's' Executive=Pawns Legislative=Puppets Judicial=Pliable. Like sports: 2 teams with fans who go at each other. The player get paid, the owners profit. The fans pay for it all.

One of the many "check boxes" to Fascist regimes is posting loyalist and incompetents to ensure the minions have power in name only. There is a lot more detail to this particularly in A.H. 1930-1940 Germany history.

If you like a good story and you're a Star Wars fan. Knights of the Old Republic. An older game but the narrative is so good.
