The ruling class want slavery. They want everyone slaving at subsistence wages to make them richer. Really, Trump’s big contribution to Republicans is showing that you can say the quiet parts out loud. Openly destroy rights, praise dictators, threaten political opponents, ignore conflicts of interest and calls for recusal, open bribery at the highest levels, unqualified cronies in positions of power, threats against the legal system, cries for insurrection. The power of the people has been systematically erased.
