    I’d argue they want to go back to the roots of America. Only wealthy white men allowed to vote, with indentured servitude and slavery for everyone else. I think it’s important we don’t deify a bunch of rich slavers.

      I mean that’s effectively what we have RIGHT NOW. Only billionaires wield any political power, and most of us work for one of those billionaires in some capacity, cause they control the money supply

        Yeah, it can (and will) get much much worse. Ask the literal slaves about whether they would think that their situation was equal to yours.

        Not really though. It is the illusion of trending away from them, but in actuality just rebranding them.
