The oversight and regulatory agencies have been shuttered. The republican voters approve of tax breaks for the rich, and all corporations and billionaires need to do is BRIBE the regime. They’ve got all Aces and so now they can push for complete domination and control.

The strategy works. Divide and sew hate. They get people engaged in a culture war, rather than a class war.
