What is so special about 2024 is it proved they can't be stopped. Not that that was a surprise, the plutocratic oligarchic elites may not have the numbers, they have the dollars and their grubby hands on all the levers of power. You can't stop them but sometimes, rarely, you can elect someone a little less corrupt. Remember Jimmy Carter.

Not that occasionally. The electing someone less corrupt changes much. The person who said, elections have consequences kind of overstated the situation. Rarely do elections make much difference., at least in the U.S. The system is very prone to gridlock, sometimes that is a feature and sometimes it is a bug.
