I mean, we are living it so we all know how this happens. Wealthy conservative people own media, and that media convinces uneducated voters to believe the thing that allows wealthy people to make more money. Those voters vote for politicians who believe the same thing, elevated and propagandized by the same wealthy people.

But because climate change denial is demonstrably false, this isn’t just wealthy people having more representation. This is the level of representation that wealthy peoples’ fantasies get.

We’re pretty far gone, aren’t we?
