So "regular people" don't talk about oligarchs, yet "oligarchy" is searched along "Olivia Rodrigo", "Olive Garden"

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) pushed back as MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle pressed him to criticize President Donald Trump’s relationship to billionaires like Elon Musk. In the extended version of their Tuesday MSNBC interview for The 11th Hour, Ruhle noted that Trump’s administration is the “wealthiest in modern history” and asked Fetterman if we are creating “American oligarchs.”

Fetterman suggested Musk and others aligning themselves like Trump are motivated by more than just simply making money. He also urged Democrats to begin using language that doesn’t involve words like “oligarch.” “I would just ask democrats to start talking like a regular person. Most people don’t know what an oligarch is,” the senator said.

It's time for Fetterman to get out from under Elon Musk...

Put the first three letters in and see what you get. What are regular people searching for?

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Olivia Rodrigo is a pretty big deal. She is up there for a reason, and "Oligarchy" is up there as well because people are interested in the topic, and I think they want to know what our government is going to do about it.

Should we ignore them?
