Thank you Thom. You say this murder mystery started in 1886? Didn’t it grow traction during the Reagan years? Wasn’t Citizens United signed during the Obama Administration? The wealthy Oligarchs may have wanted us divided since the 1886 robber barons, but I think the evil in human nature to control the many by the few through power and money are the culprits. Your piece reads in part like “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”. In this case, the villains are SCOTUS and their partisanship. They divided and conquered.

Who killed democracy in the US? Citizens United.
