Even @washingtonpost.com says so: "In an era defined by major political divisions and massive wealth accumulation for the richest Americans, billionaires are spending unprecedented amounts on U.S. politics. . . . wealth is now more concentrated at the very top than at any time since the Gilded Age."

We’ve Saved Democracy Before. FDR’s First 100 Days Made It Possible. - Roosevelt Institute
One hundred headline-dominating days into his presidency, some have compared Trump to FDR, the first president to use the “first 100 days” framework. The comparison couldn’t be more wrong. One is choosing chaos, cruelty, and corruption. The other brought the competence to contain instability, answer the uncertainties of unchecked capitalism, and rein in grift. One man is undermining democracy. The other sought to preserve it. And in this moment, FDR has a lot to teach those of us who seek to preserve. The greatest lesson: When democracy and authoritarianism compete for popular loyalty, the most important battleground is the economy.
