In virtue, the American oligarchy currently in control of the intellectual means of production bears no resemblance to the natural aristocracy, the object of Thomas Jefferson’s lauding reflections.[1]The media monopoly that distorts American society and government is a curse. That and the inordinate role that money plays in our politics cause gross distortions in public life. But, like vote fraud, don't expect the Republicans or ultra-leftist Democrat hysterics to effect reforms any time soon. Massive distortions of the political process are the cornerstone of 21st-century America.
However, who can use what bathroom, Steve Bannon's being a Big Blue Meanie, the patriarchy, our "rape culture," and equality for our pampered, infantile females will be page one news for the next decade. I'm concerned. I know you are too.
