After Trump’s victory in the 2024 election, the wealth of the richest skyrocketed, symbolizing a new oligarchic collaboration threatening democracy. The Republican Party, unabashed in its prejudices, has initiated severe cuts affecting the most vulnerable. Critical services for the poor, including healthcare and education, faced defunding, while measures to protect the environment and support rural communities were slashed. This marked an escalatory assault on low-income groups under a government catering primarily to billionaires, implying a shift towards authoritarianism reminiscent of past Gilded Ages.
The day after Donald Trump won the 2024 election, the 10 richest people in the world-including nine Americans-expanded their wealth by nearly $64 billion, marking the greatest single-day increase in recorded history.
Leading elements in the Republican Party have rapidly eschewed euphemisms and political correctness altogether, airing their prejudices in unapologetically broad and brazen terms.
During the second Trump administration, we've witnessed nothing less than an escalatory war on the poor, with rural development grants and healthcare services defunded.
The corporate elite have cut out the middleman in government, orchestrating an oligarchic assault on democracy, leading us into a new Gilded Age.
