      rebranding oligarchy

      How? The billionaires and corporations own the most important resources while having great influence over our elections and politicians.

      We are only a republic or a “democracy” in our dreams, but in reality, we are also already a fascist country with our police state.

      Not to mention the Patriot Act and the many more policies that follow.

      The USA PATRIOT Act was a landmark Act of the United States Congress, signed into law by President George W. Bush.

        nothing youve said here negates my point. these kinds of messages arent meant for people paying attention.

        im not disagreeing with you. rebranding is all about optics, and attempting to change peoples view of something… often a terrible thing.
