Thank you, Greg Olear, for a basic compendium of the mess we're in. I have entertained the thought that we are in a (so far) bloodless coup, a war, or revolution that has been building up to this moment since the "Reagan revolution", when the idea that "government is the problem" was first introduced. This is a drive to establish a government of, by, and for the oligarchs, and their ammunition is torrents of money.

This is an accurate description of what is taking place. This is a classic fascist (anti-Marxist) counterrevolution. Trump is the nominal leader, because he has been created in the image of racist white America. He was created by Rupert Murdoch and his business allies. Now he has a life of his own and is becoming rather unwieldy. He and his reckless ally, Elon Musk, are endangering Project 2025. The counter revolution may crater in the near future. If not, it will destroy the country in the long run.
