We defeated oligarchy in America before, and we will do it again
As we all know Trump is beginning his 2nd term like he wanted because of his huge following and popularity and with the support of billionaires and because of that America as told by Biden’s farewell address is now under Oligarchy for few reasons.
- The democratic party tried to prevent Trump’s return from power but failed because of his strong popularity and his trials for his convictions making him a martyr.
- Biden and the democratic party tried to win the support of many Americans but not all of the Americans which are mostly blue collars and the working class which is why they seek Trump and the republican party which gave him most of the votes including the popular vote and didn’t elect female candidates as presidents.
- Still support Netanyahu and Israel and ignore Palestine like most American government (same with trump) as Netanyahu is responsible for the Gaza battle that cause a lot of casualties which as of now ended with a ceasefire.
- And lastly Bidens withdrawal of the US soldiers from Afghanistan due to many factors cause Taliban to regain their country once again under their tyrannical rule and reverse progress of the country.
These factors cause Trump to regain his 2nd presidency because of his popularity and charisma and with many supporters by his side like “Yes” man and the supreme court mostly republicans that it’s like Trump has completely power and unstoppable, that he will ignore most of his promises to his voters and do what he likes , he would deal with taxes but will almost affect the common people as their tax prices will not decrease and mostly cause the rich people to avoid paying taxes, he will try to end USA’s membership with NATO, cut out the climate change plans like most climate change deniers, trying to conquer Greenland, Panama Canal and Canada that would revive American imperialism which we are against and will try to finish his Mexican wall like he wanted.
And with Trump regaining power once again and with 100% of supporters by his side, including billionaires. It’s like Trump will now have total control doing what he wants, he will slowly eradicate Democracy and will likely end up like Russia who is under the rule of Putin and the oligarchy will became a dictatorship as some claimed especially during the era when the far right now has control over Europe and will deport immigrants from their country leaving the migrants homeless and no jobs which is a problem .
But as we learned from history , we defeated oligarchy in America before, and we will do it again.
You see in the 1880s in what is known as the gilded age due to the industrial revolution American major industrialists who were on the side of government wiped off the competition making the rich richer and the poor poorer which gives the nickname to the industrialists the “robber barons” , even at the time , Grover Cleveland was forced to borrow $65 million in gold from financiers including Morgan to keep the federal government afloat, to show that corporate power ruled the American society.
That is until Theodore Roosevelt with his progressive era comes in and reduces the rich from power with his acts, and years later Franklin D Roosevelt cement it by regulating Wall street and the growth of labor unions reducing the rich from controlling the government and power.
But throughout the 1970s and even the 80s also known as the Reagan era, some of the restrictions to prevent the rich from gaining power have slowly been reduced and would later lead to where we are now.
And although Trump a millionaire now president and with the billionaires by his side , it seems America is now ruled by the corporate rich and will do as he wants but just because we the middle and the poor lose the battle doesn’t mean the war is lost.
There will once again be an anti-trump protest beginning with Trumps inauguration next week and there will be grassroot movements to prevent Trump from total power and will one day have a movement to support a real political party supported by all the people rather than the democrats and republican parties that are supported by the multi-rich corporations and consist of rich members , perhaps to have a midterm election to let the common political party who are on the side of republicans and democrats to take power in order to limit Trump from total power and prevent the multi-rich form doing what they want , decrease the disinformation and maybe one day vote for someone similar to Bernie Sanders ( as he will likely pass away, same with Trump) with democratic socialist values who will gain support from the whole country to become president so that they might one day undo Trump's controversial acts during his run but will make the country limit the rich’s grasp of complete power, create stricter laws to force the rich to pay their taxes in order to make better healthcare facilities , better education, stricter gun laws like how Australia did with help in improving mental health and defeat Oligarchy once again like Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin D Roosevelt before them.
So, as we are currently in the 2nd trump era where America is ruled by the rich and break some promises while siding with Autocrats , there will be so many movements to limit them from total power, prevent it from becoming another Russia during Putin’s term ,prevent the beginning of American imperialism by preventing Trump in conquering other countries and hope that one day a future president will once again limit the rich from power and not associated with autocratic countries because as we learned from history we defeated oligarchy in America before, and we will do it again.
