This is literally what most Americans believe.
This is the inverse of Deep State conspiratorial thinking. Instead of the power being held by the high level but not publicly visible members of the state, it’s the low level, high public visibility members. The real elites running this country are the clerks at the DMV.
Top ten most oppressive group in society:
- Mom taking away my xbox
- Female teachers
- Delivery drivers
female delivery drivers
If they weren’t in complete control, why were they able to call security on me after I screamed at them?
I’ve heard of this
They meet at some dive bar on the outskirts of town and have unsanctioned bare knuckle fights in the basement.
This reminds me of a very embarrassing mishap that I had at what turned out to be a local aviation enthusiast’s group
American Pol Pot
American Pol Pot at home.
It is always so disappointing when they just reinvent neoliberalism
The most powerful class of all. Kindergarden teachers
The total defeat of the working class looks like kindergarten teachers following everyone home and imposing bedtime
First Amendment Auditism
These people walk amongst us. Terrifying really.
I mean, rich vs poor is a less accurate framing of class conflict. There are, like, doctors who do work and in fact do very necessary work and get relatively high pay. But the actual ruling class definitely does include Elon who owns things for a living, and definitely does not include the school board. I mean, there may be bourgeoisie on the school board, but not necessarily.
With its twin theory; would sit down to have a beer with this person.
I mean, as long as they’re pointing in the right direction I suppose
I’m not really sure the PTA meeting is the right direction tho
Lmao, yes, I misread it 😂

Really depends on what part of the States one is in. Where I live the MAGAs have figured out that local elections have low turnout out and the positions have considerable power. Those too extreme to make it in state level politics have been winning these offices and wreaking havoc with anti-woke policies.
Yeah those latter types are advancing genocidal policies against Trans people.
Agreed, OOP is obviously totally out of touch with reality, but my schoolboard is like 3 legacy centrists who are mostly concerned with whether or not the middle schools can have pools or is that too expensive, 3 moms for liberty demons who want to inspect the new math textbooks for hidden CRT agendas and a tiebreaker seventh member, the legacy Republican member who looks like the centrists but never opposed anything the MFL Demons suggest.
It’s a truly evil entity.
Possibly the most appropriate use of this emoji of all times:
