Addendum
One week after I wrote this article, the very thing I warned about, took place:

It’s the oldest con game in the book. Get two parties to argue and while they’re distracted, pick both their pockets.
By the time they realise their pockets are empty, you’ll be long gone and they’ll naturally blame each other.
America’s wealthy 1% know that confused and fearful people are the easiest to manipulate and control.
That's how the 1% have been purchasing our elections since the 1960s.
Wielding the enormous power of their wealth, they swing the outcome.
Their undue influence means our elections only appear to be “Free and Fair”
We’ve been lulled into submission by an illusion of democracy.
The only real losers in elections since the 1960s are the 99% of Americans who are not wealthy.
The wealthy 1% saw their earnings rise 275% since 1960.
Did your income increase 275% since 1960? Mine didn’t.
Yet the consumer price index (what we spend on stuff) increased by 600% since 1960.
A math degree is not required to see what this is.
Stop and ask yourself one question: Who's actually “winning” here?
White Christian Nationalists and MAGA cult members notwithstanding,
Instead of being suspicious of people in Red hats or Blue hats -
MAYBE we should collectively be suspicious of the people who sold us the hats to begin with.
Wealth Inequality in 2024 has a new partner. Say hello to Fascism.
The wealthy want fascism to rule our country. It keeps us under tighter control and pays them bigger dividends.
The Internet, Network TV & Cable News normalize wealthy fascists because they are all bought and paid for by them.
They are part of the con job. Endless “Breaking News” cycles that create perpetual anxiety and confusion.
Turning Americans against each other as a distraction, while the 1% line their pockets with what little we have left.
You don’t have to take my word for it. Just Google the net worth of your favorite TV news people or podcasters.
99% of Americans are being conned by the 1% who now support fascism, because it serves their own purposes.
The Wealthy don't want you to know what actual facts are, because it undermines their lies and undercuts their profits.
