This is what happens when you don’t have an opposition party. Government is outsourcing to progressives on a number of issues and the GOP couldn’t care less.

Ping for later.
Tax-exempt bribery is more accurate.
It’s becoming clearer every day that people who somehow end up worth tens of billions of dollars become an existential threat to humanity. I never thought it would be possible to be too rich but it turns out it absolutely is possible. Mega rich people ultimately do very bad things, period.
Meanwhile moles and trolls are telling Republicans not to bother voting.
For decades Soros had been implementing his $$ to topple the usa By influencing election and converting our nation into a communist country. Never in soros wildest dreams did he ever imagine a three headed 🐉 DEMON monster would rise up and join him in the effort to fracture and destroy Americans. These people are so freaking evil and come from the bowels of hell!

This thesis is so true.
LS please post some of your findings re the billionaire elites and our America and the world.
Sorry Mr. Whitlock, it didn’t take 4 years to frame us as racist deploreables worthy of elimination.
Whitlock: Ignoring the concerns of Trump supporters will destroy America
The Blaze ^ | 1/9/21
For four years now, the billionaire and millionaire elites who control academia, the mainstream media, politics, popular culture, and the sports world have framed Trump supporters as racist deplorables worthy of elimination from society.
These same elites spent the past decade elevating Michael Brown, George Floyd, Jacob Blake, Rayshard Brooks, Eric Garner, and other resisting criminal suspects to icon status while simultaneously raising bail money for protesters willing to riot, loot, burn, and vandalize in the name of racial justice.
The ZIP Codes That Rule America!:
BY: MICHAEL LIND, DECEMBER 16, 2020
The real divide isn’t between red states and blue states or cities and rural areas.
It’s between mega-rich political donors and everyone else.
In theory senators represent the citizens of their states and members of the House represent the people of their congressional districts. In practice they represent individual and corporate donors and political allies and future employers, who may live anywhere in the United States—or in some cases abroad. Joe Biden was the senator from the credit card industry, based in Delaware.
The donors to American politicians in all 50 states are concentrated in a few ZIP codes. According to Open Secrets, of the ZIP codes that delivered the most campaign funding for the Democrats in 2020, not counting dark money or soft money for liberal groups, four of the top five were in New York City (10024, 10023, 10022, 10011), followed by Chevy Chase, Maryland (20815), a suburb of Washington, D.C. Other top Democratic ZIPs this year were Silicon Valley (94301 and 94022) and Cambridge, Massachusetts (02138). New York City was also overrepresented among donors to the Republican Party, whose donor base is more geographically diverse, with a lot of money coming from Dallas, Atlanta, Las Vegas, and Palm Beach, Florida.
Most politicians follow the preferences of their donors, not their voters, when there is a conflict. “Who buys my bread, his song I sing,” as the old saying goes. Or, if you prefer another proverb: “The Golden Rule is whoever has the gold rules.”
“When the preferences of economic elites and the stands of organized interest groups are controlled for, the preferences of the average American appear to have only a minuscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy.”
Are we stuck with only 50 stars on Old Glory from now on? Except at the margins, it doesn’t matter whether there are eight Californias or just one. Nor would it make much of a difference if D.C. or Puerto Rico became the 51st state. We can draw state borders however we like and add or subdivide states if we choose. But to the extent our influence is limited to voting, most of us are just renters in American politics. The donors, wherever they happen to live, own it.

Shadow government? That's "conspiracy" talk.
Government for the rich and lawyers, for the rich and lawyers, and by the rich and lawyers.
That’s effectively what we have. It’s all uni-party theater.
Peruse later.
