Epstein is the most garish and harrowing manifestation of this but oligarchy makes life miserable in a thousand other ways. A core point of democracy is that no one should have so much power that they can make themselves everybody's problem. We should have a political party that believes that

"Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

Funny how the amount they’re asking public schools to cut is about the same amount as their vouchers program that they said wouldn’t affect public schools
Idaho public schools, Medicaid program now told to plan for new state budget cuts • Idaho Capital Sun
A 2% budget cut would represent a $55 million cut for Idaho's K-12 public school system, and a $19.9 million cut for Medicaid.

Two weeks ago this guy announced he was providing legal help to the agent who shot Renee Good. That's how quickly the winds are shifting.
pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor:
"Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."
