In much the same place, I fear.
1) the extreme, wealthy right has been playing a very long game. Cf MacLean's #DemocracyInChains. The Democrats had rolled over and played dead since 1980 as far as any response to the right wings playbook went.

2) Gore is an adherent […]

BIG OIL—the KKKOCH faction. #DemocracyInChains if you’re an analyst for a western government and didn’t see this coming, you’ve been reading gov’t reports that missed the big picture.

Thanks to ‪@kpolanyisociety.bsky.social‬ for doing this condensation of the case I made in #DemocracyinChains. Wish the book had not been so predictive of the mess we are in now!

#DemocracyInChains reveals Charles Koch & William Buchanan teamed up over outrage at desegregation in 1954. Brown v Board of Education sent them over the top. Koch Secret Seminars for the rich, infiltrating local schools & elections, squashing the truth in media & universities..Yeah it's been awhile

Reading #DemocracyinChains and am feeling the heavy weight of the far right movement and the work to desecrate public goods and services to privatize everything. They played the super-long game, and I’m starting to see a bigger picture of what we are up against. It’s so disheartening but motivating

#DemocracyInChains by Nancy MacLean

MUST READ!

In Democracy in Chains, @NancyMacLean5 outlines how the GOP prioritizes power over people, systematically dismantling democratic norms to entrench oligarchy.

This is not governance; it’s a hostile takeover of our freedoms.

#DemocracyInChains #ncpol #WeCompetePAC

Nancy MacLean’s Democracy in Chains reveals how the GOP embraced policies designed to entrench minority rule, undermining democracy to favor the wealthy few. The party’s shift to authoritarianism isn’t new—it’s been decades in the making. #DemocracyInChains #ncpol #WeCompetePAC

You're right. I should know better. #DemocracyInChains by Nancy McLean is a must read.

If you have not read Democracy In Chains by Nancy MacLean ((c) 2017) find it. Read it. Share it. #DemocracyinChains

Exactly: Everyone who hasn't read #DemocracyInChains by Nancy McLean or #DarkMoney by Jane Mayer should.
