    I mean it’s like that meme when Lisa Simpsons goes “as usual, the playground has got the facts right but the point wrong entirely”, because yes, there was in fact a secret cabal of billionaires doing demonic shit to children, but it wasn’t Democrats, and wasn’t strictly Republican either, it was capitalist oligarchs, whose allegiance is not to any party but themselves, and the fight is not against a political party but against a class of neo-nobility, meaning it is against the rich, who pay off public servants on every side. It’s not about left and right, it’s about the astronomically ultra-rich and poor. Kings and queens. Again.

    That said, Republicans are way overrepresented in running the errands of that nobility and willfully and openly support their reign and actively seek to destroy democracy to achieve their goals, but still.
