“In these last days before voting concludes, Generals John Kelly, Jim Mattis, and others have warned that Trump is an aspiring fascist — a necessary alarm. But what has also come into sharper focus in the last few weeks is that a second Trump term would inaugurate an American oligarchy. The sorry spectacle of leading industrialists, newspaper owners, tech executives, Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, and others seeking to ensure their good standing with Trump reflects a blend of cowardice and cupidity. … Trump is the most corrupt figure ever to disgrace the White House and has made no secret of his intention to reward friends and punish enemies if he regains power. The would-be oligarchs recognize the new game and are preparing to operate in a world where government impartiality and above-board decision making are relegated to the dustbin of history.” [editor’s note: As if those two things ever existed – TLK] (10/30/24)
