(neologism, politics) A small group of ultrawealthy men who exert inordinate control or influence within a political structure, particularly while espousing views regarded as anti-democratic, technofascist, and masculinist.
The shit is hitting the fan at such a high rate that it can be difficult to keep up. So this is a place to share such news.

Pot, have you met Kettle? All I did was literally take your own attitude and use it against you.
Maybe think about that the next time you go to make sweeping assumptions about an entire country's people. Or will I find you nodding along, head empty, the next time I see an American ranting about Russians, despite our "glorious leader" tickling Putin's butthole with his tongue?
Here's some facts for you about the people you say are "rolling over and taking it." Politicians in the capital have gone from receiving 20 calls per day on average to 1,600 calls per day. Some of the Republicans have left their voice mailboxes full and stopped answering the phones so that people can't call them anymore. There are protests at all levels, from local level people waving signs to thousands of people blockading federal government buildings in the capital, with more organized for the next several months already, including a generalized strike to shut down the economy. Just because stuff hasn't been burnt down yet doesn't mean that people aren't doing anything. Everybody expects any sign of violence to be used as justification for a nationwide military crackdown.
Sending thoughts and prayers!
