Listen, Broligarchy is not some cute synonym for oligarchy. It's genuinely different & WAY more dangerous.

I'm a sociologist who's been studying the ultra-rich globally for 17 yrs, entering their world as an offshore wealth mgr. Published 2 books abt them.

🧵Broligarchs are distinct in 3 ways:
There’s a sort of Trump apologist, a relatively small but loud subset, who probably don’t realize or intend to be, but are so attached to a previous hyperbolic claim that they deny anything important changed.

-US was already an oligarchy
-US was already fascist
-Biden gave Israel a blank check
-Etc

Pandemics do not begin with official announcements.

They start with quiet deletions, missing reports, and assurances that there is "no cause for concern."

Pay attention.

It’s crazy-making that Joe Scarborough said of Bezos: “Anticipatory kowtowing to a guy saying he is going to be an autocrat is the first step”

Then took the step himself 🙃

WATCH: “Why hire a motherf*cker who you ain’t gonna listen to?”

After Rep. Burchett downplays @robertfkennedyjr’s potential impact on public health and says “we (congress) write the laws”, @roywoodjr.bsky.social & @michaelianblack.bsky.social ask a valid question.

We're getting near the "Theresienstadt is just a spa town" phase of the cynical abandonment of basic human and civil rights for trans Americans, particularly the kids. Come to your senses. Abandoning them won't save you - or us.
