Yes, whatever you call it - the “Thing”, “Swamp”, “Deep State”, or “Oligarchy”, has been growing in power for centuries. The conspiracy theories about the “Illuminati” that were considered so crazy a decade ago aren’t looking so crazy anymore.
I’d say it’s ironic, but really just monotonously predictable, at this point, that the party with it’s roots in the ideology of socialist/ fascists like GBS are calling patriots like Trump fascists.
But the predictability is what is so disturbing - people are becoming conditioned to it (“the banality of evil”?) Tommy is going to prison again - people will protest - and nothing will change.
We will protest with our votes - the left will rig our Potemkin election - and nothing will change.
Even if Trump wins, will the Oligarchy allow real change?
