The permanent underclass is the goal

[KT2000]

I believe republicans are engaged in creating a permanent underclass. They are not afraid of trump tweets but rather they believe they are of a superior race (see Ayn Rand) that should be using the underclass for their own uses. trump has been unchecked in his efforts to deny more people access to healthcare and eliminate environmental protections that are meant to protect health. Both of these efforts are the fast track to poverty. His pandemic rescue for those with high medical bill is just another insurance company looking for ways to not pay a claim - poverty.

There have been no infrastructure bills to create more jobs and those who do have low paying jobs have to fight like hell to even keep up with a years old economy.
He has greased the skids for for payday lenders to kneecap the poor and financial consultants to wipe someone out if it is to their benefit.

There are many examples, but as I look at what has been accomplished since trump and the republicans gained control, I see nothing but a fleecing of the middle class to create an oligarchy and the stupid republicans think they are going to be included. Poverty is the trap.

1. I am not sure that goes far enough, they could be reaching for a one party, christian theocracy...

and a return of the nobility.

2. I was thinking no parties

I bet they already think of themselves as nobility - McConnell, Rand Paul, etc.

3. I think the goal is rather to cement an "over-class" that can act with impunity.

It’s the Russian model.

4. We have to get inherited wealth in check

The top 1% amass thier fortunes by inheriting it.

When Biden wins he's going to have to limit how much families with dynastic ambitions can have. They are the ogliarches. And they must not have enough wealth to buy our government.

I agree they want slavery to not pay people for labor,they want the owe your soul to the company store type thing. Beware corporations getting"socially consious".

It's entrapment,dependence they will use to control others and exploit to make money. They already profit from poverty .

They always want more money and anything these corprate monsters do that seems good will have an ulterior agenda that is not in line with thier so called purpose.

It's starting to trend .

5. read "Democracy in Chains"

which traces the history of the modern GOP party and its aims.
exactly true that they are looking for a society more like Mexico or Brazil.
