While Steve McCann is a good writer, this article is naive.
Our country was already run by an oligarchy of ruling elite Democrats, Republicans, Deep State, et al. when Trump interrupted their plan by trying to give power back to the people.
This oligarchy, backed by the CCP and globalists, has already brainwashed a big chunk of the American electorate and will now find a way to rid themselves of that pesky portion that have proven themselves to be immune to their indoctrination/brainwashing methods (i.e., us Deplorables).
All hope is not lost, however.
War is coming. A righteous war.
Of course, in the meantime, the "oligarchy" is awaiting its REAL leader.
It’s real leader...Satan?
I agree that the author appears to think the old rules apply. Post-coup, they don’t.
Because we have had a coup, and like many a banana-republic coup, it was voted in. And it is being enforced by the ministry of propaganda (the media and big tech, which can silence the opposition at will) and, as usual, the police powers of the state.
Seeing the Dems keep about 15,000 troops in DC for the duration of their “impeachment” proceedings should tell you all you need to know both about the legitimacy of the proceedings and the identity of their true enemy (we the people).
Also, closing several national monuments that are iconic symbols of the old US (such as the Washington Monument) is an extension of the statue removal of last year, completely wiping out all visual symbols and public record of history of the pre-coup past.
“Even political parties advocating radical forms of democracy are forced, if they wish to be effective, to take on an oligarchic form, with a small party elite commanding the allegiance of a larger base. This has been called the iron law of oligarchy.” from a review of Samuel Francis’ book, Leviathan and Its Enemies
The review goes on to say that there is some hope because the elites are always changing. One group cannot hold on to power for long
