America's Real Divide Isn't Left vs. Right. It's Democracy vs. Oligarchy.
American Prospect
ROBERT REICH JULY 16, 2019
The only way to overcome the oligarchy and Trump’s divide-and-conquer strategy is for the rest of us to join together and win America back.
The oligarchs know politicians won’t bite the hands that feed them. So as long as they control the money, they can be confident there will be no meaningful response to stagnant pay, climate change, military bloat or the soaring costs of health insurance, pharmaceuticals, college and housing. There will be no substantial tax increases on the wealthy...
Divide-and-conquer allows the oligarchy free rein. It makes the rest of us puppets, fighting each other on a made-up stage. Trump is the puppet master. He has been at it for years, long before he ran for president...The only way to overcome the oligarchy and Trump’s divide-and-conquer strategy is for the rest of us to join together and win America back.
That means creating a multiracial, multi-ethnic coalition of working-class, poor, and middle-class Americans who will fight for democracy and oppose oligarchy.
