There’s no new government

I said:

I think this election is the same old system with newer technology. The rich pay people to control the social media – the same people that controlled old media. There is nothing new under the sun, the emperor only gets new clothes every 100 years or so.

The founders of the United States designed a system in which voters elected smart people and those smart people ran the country. They called it a republic.Over time, money corrupted the system. Rich people became the real power. The rich controlled the media, and that was enough to control the minds of voters. Let’s call that system a type of “economic fascism.” By that I mean the real power is the top 1% (as opposed to one dictator) and the rest of the country has no real power.
