Hate to tell ya, but corporations have been running the US government for most of its existence.

The scariest part about Trump is that the plutocracy no longer need to even hide the vacuous corruption. So many people are so mentally ill they'll literally defend satan to your face, while feeding you an alternate version of reality, citing some dead shit crackpot with 1k YouTube views as "evidence", while calling you crazy. Having dealt with these people, their OS is simply corrupted. They don't know what logic or reality is anymore, and most of them never will... If they can ignore all evidence thus far, they're more likely to murder you than they are to self reflect.
