All oligarchs and their media train minds away from the Public Interest. But only to a point.
Privatizing the country is their goal such that rule of corporations overrules rule of law.
And yet the courts are still holding the line against the DOJ, DHS, and all their corrupt nazi goons.

77% of this country has not voted GOP. Ever. It's not time to give up yet.
