While the left and right tear each other apart, the American Oligarchs are laughing all the way to the bank.
The Oligarchs often fund both political parties to back more than one horse, ensuring they have a say either way.
Competitor mergers to reduce or eliminate competition are the order of the day in the US economy.
This ensures shareholder value increases, and job wages stagnate due to fewer jobs making these companies even more profitable. This nullifies the checks and balances of Democratic capitalism where increased competition leads to increased wages - as well as reduced prices increasing the majorities buying power.
The only thing better than a monopoly is a global monopoly.
It is clear that the richest 500 people (Oligarchs) in the US decide economic policy to undermine Democracy.
The more they consolidate the economy, the higher the share value becomes. It is an insult to Democracy, and more akin to authoritarianism.
Trump supporters also include people that have voted left or centre in the past. His base is the white working class that want to overturn the Oligarchy. The US needs to break these companies up.
