They're nazis, they always wanted a nazi style system in the US, with them in charge.

They think that miserable stupid evil lazy crazy loser failed real estate swindler is bigger than America.
Now they just have to try and prove it, in physical reality, in real time, against America.

We'll see.

The rw oligarchs have been plotting against us since the Stock Market crash when they lost so much. They are determined to remake the country by totally removing the social safety net and all laws regarding healthcare - like ending EMTALA the law that makes all ER rooms in USA take everyone who is having a health crisis and get them stabilized, regardless of their ability to pay or their healthcare funding. They want to stop everything that helps workers and poor - end free public education , end all labor laws including child labor laws, cut then end Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security, end all legal birth control. They want an ignorant sick population that will work for almost nothing and die young, having produced lots of other serfs for the betterment of the barons. That is their true desire and decades long project - turn us into a country with the barons and serfs model and of course end the constitutional protections we have.

Naomi Klein's Shock Doctrine is a must read and so is Confessions of an Economic Hitman.
I also love that Davidson Budhoo resignation letter (to the IMF). And even Jeffrey Sachs jumped ship from this BS criminality after what was done to the people of Eastern Europe.
