Yes. The pedodent is supported by the billionaire class and in turn funnels even more taxpayer dollars to then and his own family. The billionaires in turn help manufacture of amplify the conflicts he feeds upon.
Trump is a symptom of the wider rot that the establishment Democrats are a part of

We should probably stop calling them a class and just say billionaires. Calling them a class gives them validation. They are just greedy shitty people
I think i disagree. 'Bilionaires' makes it seem seem like a nebulous group of individuals, like
'oh just happens to have a ton of money, you can't hold that against them without evaluating their actions as an individual'
The problem is that they are a class, or rather that the class exists as a class and that they are use their power, act as and are catered to, as a class.
If there were 100 individuals around the word who just happened to have assets valuing 1,000,000,000$ or more, even if they owned shitty companies companies and were all assholes, that would be one thing.
Assuming they not associate with each other, conspire together to warp society and governments to their shared wills etc, it would be a far different world.
If they were seen as just rare individuals, governments would not bend to their whims; one billionaire threatens to offshore his buisness unless he gets favorable laws, to ignore taxes etc, the country threatens to nationalism his buisness, or just locks his ass up. I one guy is found to be bribing one or countless politicians, thats a treasonous scandal.
When a couple dozen are making these threats in lockstep, they are holding the country's economy hostage. And when between them they are bribing all the politicians, that becomes the staus quo.
its when they act as a class that its a real problem.
I like the Epstein class because it's not just billionaires that are the problem, it's all the people who break or circumvent the law to enrich themselves or gain power.
Both. Both is true.
Yes, specifically: The billionaires class hired Trump to do this. They may have gotten more than they bargained for, or they may not care since it’s not yet affecting most of them.

The biggest tour de force of the century so far is the billionaires who built/bought the social media’s and diverted the attention from the class war (member 2008?) to an ideology war.
They won their bet
The dummies followed and even fought for them
"Here we go again, same old shit again."
What we need is people who actually write up policy proposals. It doesn't matter whether you have a senate majority, you need to write the policy proposals now. What actually changes things is societal pressure, and you only build that up by showing that another way is possible, which you show by writing down how exactly you would run an alternative society. For which you have to write down policy proposals.
The fact that Democrats don’t have a Project 2027 or Project 2029 runbook proves they don’t know what they’re doing.
The fact that Democrats don’t have a Project 2027 or Project 2028 runbook proves that they're not even trying.

Reminds me of this:
Jesus fuck. It can literally be both, especially with this fatted calf.
Also in terms of affordability of daily good and gas, it literally, majority because of Trump, the billionaire grifter, and his tariffs and his stupid thinking he's Jesus and started a War with Iran and the Republicans refusing to rein him in and the Democrats voting with them.

It's because Republicans and neoliberal democrats (the majority of them) take their marching orders from the billionaire class.

This was a joke, right? Good one
Yeah, it's Trump, everything will be fine when he dies!
Trump could never have been elected without you hacks, your corruption made him possible. He could never be in any position of authority without decades of unbridled rot to pave the way... if he's the monster, you're the Dr. Frankenstein who created him.
Good job
Donald Trump is literally everything wrong with The United States of America distilled down to a person and squeezed into an ill fitting suit. All the self obsession, anti-intelectualism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, paedophilia, war mongering, greed, hate, and cruelty rolled into the ugliest person you'll ever know. Did I miss anything?

It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!
Upton Sinclair, 1934
It's not "billionaire class". It's owning class.
It ain't that they have a lot of money, it's how they came to acquire that money as an effect of the system of ownership we currently live under incentivising rampant exploitative practices as the most efficient methods of personal enrichment.
Billionaires are just the best at being exploitative; they aren't the only ones though.

The same old history. Some people infiltrate and manipulate the lefties to not vote, until they will lose their power of voting forever.
"Learned", lol, yeah that's what the problem is. They're just so stupid. So unbelievably stupid. These people with billions of dollars of think tank research and social data, these people who climbed into power, they just aren't realizing this obvious fact that somehow every non-politician around me has understood since they were 15 years old. They haven't "learned".

The burnings will continue untill we get representation that actually aligns with the will of the people.
To be clear, i won't be me burning, nor anyone on this site; just the regular Joe who has been pushed too far. We don't even have to encourage it. The more our leaders don't listen and ultra rich greed continues the more they will happen. It is the same as: the less it rains (justice) the dryer and more flammable the ground will get. Not a threat, but the nature of humanity and society.
Nothing will improve until the US moves away from the two party system. It's an inherently flawed system, because it leaves no room for nuance. You either have to vote for the red guys or the blue guys and if both the red guys and the blue guys are crap then you have to vote for the least worst option, which is often hard to identify.
There's nothing written down that actually requires people to be the representative of one party or another, it's just how things have worked out.
The US also needs to seriously get a grip on religion in politics, it can be there up to a point but there has to be a limit. In any other western country a politician stating that a war is just and required entirely on the basis of religion alone would rightfully get them sectioned.

i find it funny that there are more balanced takes on politics here then in any of the canada political pages on here
What neo-liberals and their apologizing masses don't understand is we don't see a difference anymore. They're both conservative parties that only care about their payout ultimately. Advancing billionaire objectives and ignoring us. I really wish they'd understand and stop trying to fucking argue against this.

At LEAST blame Republicans, not Trump.
That Democrats waste time pointing the finger at Trump means Republicans get to reset after this like they aren't fully fucking complicit and responsible for promoting Trump to power. And yes, those pro-Israel Dem representatives deserve a portion of blame as well.

I mean, they're also right that Trump is making it worse. Hes making it acutely terrible in fact.
If it were some competent neolib at the helm instead of a retarded fascist we'd only be slightly miserable instead of suicidally miserable.
