You need to accept that there are overlapping, but sometimes opposing, interests that are working together but may split at some point.
The oligarchs want to be Russia.
But instead of the CEO of America having absolute power like Putin (well, he would still, but) he would answer to the oligarchy. The “board of directors” of America.
Some of the tech bros just want to outright collapse American democracy and make new city-states from the ashes. I’d say there’s less of them, but they ARE prominent in the administration (MUSK is one of them) and they are very dangerous.
Meanwhile the religious right is a bit more traditional and want a strong unitary religious authoritarian government that basically institutes Christian theocracy.
Both interests benefit by taking power from the many (us) and pooling it to the few (tech & oil billionaires)
But this is what happens when everyone starts to paint the world entirely in black & white and does things like essentially say Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders are equally left. (Or have such a warped world view you don’t understand Sanders is like a single footstep to the left, because America is so far to the right)
So the richest man becomes king? But then all the other billionaires still have a boss.
Why not do the coronation right now?
How do they take care of China?
