Change to billionaire's PoV. You got a badrillion green self-esteem slips, more than you'll ever need or use, but you have based your life's effort on the acquisition of these dollareedoos. Do you want competency in the leadership of a country, or other?

Competence could be bad, politicians with competence recognize historical parallels with the gilded age. They might do something about it.

I suspect they'll take any distraction aside from competence. They are attempting to hold back the inevitable collapse to equilibrium (as all natural systems do so) of the class divide. So vote for the guy who will cause endless distractions allowing the billionaires to pillage further!

In the meantime, let's convince a guy who inherited 5 mil from his papa and makes $200k a year that he's on our team and "they" are coming after his American dream! (They aren't. This example person is poor compared to the actual offenders).

As a scholar who attended multiple minutes of a freshman physics course, I can confidently say the collapse is unavoidable.

Capitalism has finally dropped their mask.

I was actually hoping people like Musk and Trump will drop the mask too fast and push it too far, allowing us to enact laws before it's all over

I mean, it could be done with laws. That sounds nice. I would love to watch laws get passed on TV.

If what I think is actually coming first comes, I'll turn the TV off before the kids are given nightmares.

silence7 OP ,

You can in fact watch US legislation get passed (or not passed) on c-span

It's mostly very tedious, as legislators are giving speeches for the sound bites, rather than having meaningful discourse.
