The switcheroo in the US politics over the past few years is incredible. The GOP was the country club "the man" establishment party who plotted to keep the working man down. It was lampooned in movies and TV shows all through the 1970s and 80s. Now the democrats are the effeminate oligarchy party. It's a bunch of nannie staters and corporate grifters who pretend to care about a random assortment of social issues.
Instead of a white guy frat-party country club atmosphere, though, the democrats maintain a curated collection of skin tones, but a rigorous monotone of opinion of a religious sect. They're so subservient to their oligarch masters that they want to get rid of the voting process in their primary race and replace it with an "expert driven" elite process.
It is really interesting that oligarchy is effeminate. I doubt that's always the case, but it might be. The merchant empire isn't built on male virtue. It's a schemer and poisoner empire, not a warrior, honor based endeavor.
Anyway, it'll be interesting to see what happens if/when the oligarchs get BTFO'd in the 2020 election. It does seem like this brief period of globalization is slipping away and falling apart. The coronavirus, even if it's not a pandemic, might disrupt the supply chain of western countries, which relies so heavily on asian companies.... for no reason at all.
