    Look dude, I answered your question respectfully. You were obviously trying to bait me with some nonsense that I supported CU, because for whatever reason, even after many years of my 'both parties are the same', you still think I am a partisan stooge like yourself.

    All I stated is that if you dig deep enough, you will find all Republics have pretty much been oligarchy's. FFS, this country was founded on rich white guys! And for that matter, almost all forms of governments are controlled by the wealthy in some form or fashion. I am not saying anything new and anyone with a little bit of perspective already knows this. Thus why the small majority of people live their lives, spend their time helping those around them instead of hand-wringing over things they have no control over. You live in this fantasy land of how the world should be run through YOUR eyes, as if some high power has granted you the authority on how eveyone else should live. You would be a perfect 1960's Christian. Meanwhile, the rest of us just want to be left the f alone.

    This is a sports forum with hard core fans. The people here will always gravitate to a us vs them mentality. And when your team loses (even if your team utterly sucks and you put moron candidates like Harris/Walz on your squad), your cry foul and blame the refs. But you're perfectly find when the refs don't call the fouls for your team(ie: When the rich billionaires like Soras and those found in Silicon Valley). Now you're just mad the tech billionaires do not want to support losers and you're back to screaming about the oligarchy nonsense while you conveniently dismissed it back in 2020. You need some serious introspective on your thought process on all of this. I encourage you to go out, touch grass and if you're that hyper partisan, get involved with your local districts politics. Nothing is going to change in DC. Its bad for your health to stress over things you can't control and it will send you to an early grave.

    Your understanding of oligarchy is wrong, and I already explained it. The founders literally fled a monarchy and created a first-of-its-kind modern republic based on a system of checks and balances, rooted in their fear of concentrated power and grounded in the principle that power resides with the people (you know, their fight against the king and their determination to prevent tyranny). Yet you think they established an oligarchy. This shows a lack of understanding of history, context, and makes for the strangest of arguments.

    I think she will run for Senator but
    I also think that the MAGAs calling her with Threats
    CREDIBLE THREATS
    So she will drop out and lay low until Senate running time

    You must be on one hell of a dry spell to even entertain the idea.

    Something tells me she will be fine financially

    Quick Take: How Rich Is Marjorie Taylor Greene Now?
    Greene’s financial journey is as unconventional as her political career. Since joining Congress in 2021, her net worth has skyrocketed, jumping from around $700,000 to as much as $25 million. As of October 2025, Marjorie Taylor Greene’s estimated net worth is approximately $25 million, which marks a significant increase from before she took office
