7. What's amazing is who isn't selling out!

An oligarch is an oligarch. Once they gain control, there is no such thing as compassionate, or even benign, oligarchy. Many of the rich donors fund both political parties. I believe the "remove Biden" movement was a Trojan horse. They didn't want Biden removed so that Democrats would win in 2024. They wanted Biden removed to "kneecap" the Dems. I believe this was orchestrated by the Republicans. These tech bros have their billion dollar bunkers, private security forces, and additional mansion bolt holes all over the globe. Throw in gutted regulatory oversight and minimal, if any, restrictions, plus tax breaks and you can readily see why they wanted Joe to go. Even though most of us have had our hair on fire moments, we all saw through the propaganda and stood our ground. In a world where alternate facts have infected the media and a good portion of the general public, I think what is amazing is that there are those who said, "Not on my watch!".
