Power is shifting upward -- and you're already feeling it.

6. They began shutting off the flows of money...

that went to the "bottom" beginning with Reaganomics, and with it power for the last 40+ years. Now there is a giant sucking machine that is taking every last penny out of Americans pockets and it is in overdrive. They question is then, why is the Trump regime going on overdrive to pull money out of the economy, particularly through not just deregulation but sheer destruction, to such an extent as to cause great suffering and death, and pool it and power at the top? What is truly startling is how much damage they are doing to SMALL BUSINESSES, supposedly the darling of the Republicon party.

The standard answers (control inflation, reduce criminal activity, manage public debt, keep people desperate, etc) seem insufficient here. Yes, draining power from the people, but that somewhat assumes a monolith and unification of interests hardly possible in a pluralist society.

Republicons are imploding all by themselves. Trump will pass at some point. The Democratic party has had plenty of chances to shift power back to the people and quite frankly failed or didn't care to really try. The American people were never a threat to Putin, just the American govt. Putin isn't stupid.

Republicons hold all 4 levers of govt, the military, the 4th estate, Wall Street, the FIRE industry, numerous hospital systems, churches, many schools and colleges, and 26 states. That is quite an enormous chunk of power already. One can speculate that big changes are coming for American society, a hostile 2nd re-colonization of sorts, unless the American people step up and reclaim their united popular sovereignty.
