America does oligarchy better than anyone.
It would be good to start referring to the big C-suites as oligarchs. They amas abhorrent amounts of wealth and exert a lot of political power.. the term is very fitting.
27Taylor Swift, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg are all oligarchs.
15I know it's trendy to dunk on Taylor Swift, but what is she an oligarch of? She plays music for people that want to pay for her and doesn't exert any more political power than telling people to vote.
She's not close to the same league of the others you listed, who exert real political influence on Congress and the people.
13The whole "she's a billionaire" status is influence in and of it's self, doesn't need to be political, in my opinion.
Edit: actually, it's in the definition that an oligarch would have to have a large amount of political power. My bad, lol.
I would argue that she gained political power when she suggested that her fans should register to vote on social media (which is a good thing). I would also back that argument with the notion that Fox and/or right wing media being worried that Swift might endorse a president that isn't the orange Hershey squirt, is evidence of political power as well.

That is one tacky illustration.
11Honestly, if they’d just gotten a tiny figurine Statue of Liberty, then actually put it in a matryoshka doll, it would have been better, but it looks like shitty photoshop
9I think it's because the light on the statue is on the right while the light on the egg is from the left
