The Billionaire Blueprint for Breaking American Democracy.
The Rise of the Billionaire Class
A small elite amassed extraordinary
wealth, gaining the power to shape politics, policy, and public opinion
far beyond ordinary democratic influence.
Dark Money: The Invisible Engine
Hidden funding networks let billionaires
influence elections, laws, and public policy without disclosure,
creating political power that voters cannot see or challenge.
Capturing the Courts
Billionaire-backed legal networks
reshaped the judiciary, installing judges who reliably support policies
that strengthen wealth, weaken regulation, and restrict democratic
accountability.
The Factories of Misinformation
Media outlets funded by wealthy interests
spread misleading narratives, erode shared truth, and create distrust
in institutions essential for a functioning democracy.
The Social Media Takeover
Billionaire-controlled platforms amplify
division, reward outrage, and manipulate information flows, making it
easier to mislead citizens and destabilize democratic decision-making.
State-Level Power Grabs
Wealthy donors quietly dominate state
politics, influencing laws on voting, education, and representation to
entrench their power with minimal public scrutiny.
The Endgame: Engineering Minority Rule
Through courts, media, money, and state
legislatures, billionaires build systems that preserve control even when
most voters oppose their agenda.
