Insights from Chapter 1
#1
The economic crisis caused by COVID-19 was used by Trump and the GOP to push a new, $3 trillion corporate tax giveaway. Meanwhile, Trump worked to limit the media and instill distrust in fact-based news.
#2
The Trump administration, well stocked with people who were alumni of Koch-funded groups or regular visitors to Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News channel, did nothing to help the situation. They believed in the magic of the free market, and if there was a shortage of test kits, it would eventually drive up their price and generate money.
#3
The first billionaire president, Ronald Reagan, was supported by America’s oligarchs. They have used this rationale to hamstring government at the state level since the collapse of Reconstruction, and have impoverished the rest of America since 1981.
#4
Oligarchy is the result of a takeover of Congress, the presidency, and the courts by the wealthy. It is defended by total police powers of the government, which are used to prosecute and defend those challenging the oligarchy.
#5
Hungary’s prime minister, Viktor Orbán, is now the darling of the far-right around the world. He has packed the courts with Fidesz supporters, and his media allies are trying to purchase media in Europe to spread his right-wing message.
#6
Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has been one of Trump’s two primary sources of false information about how Ukraine opposed or tried to sabotage Trump’s 2016 campaign.
#7
The oligarchs would like to see a civil war, as it would allow them to gain even more power.
