From what I can see, having been getting knee-deep in American politics recently
They’re doing everything legally, and it’s not like rich people never worked with the government before
If they were doing illegal activity they’d be taken down by the supreme court
The same Supreme Court that said T**** is immune to prosecution? Forgive me if I don't have much faith in them. Also, far be it from me to consider myself a legal expert, but I'm fairly certain that power grabs of this scale wouldn't be legal in a self-proclaimed democracy.
Yeah I'm pretty sure Elon, an unelected lackey, hacking into the databases with everyone's social security numbers isn't legal lol.
I think people are finally realizing just how much the government is just... *people*. Not some amorphous colossus that permits and forbids certain things. The foundations of democracy are and always have been just people. No strong democratic foundations or any BS like that. And if you put your people into the strategic parts of the government, you can just kinda do whatever.
