And at every level, corporate will be running everything. The corporate coup is complete. US is officially an oligarchy/fascist state. Complete corporate control. The people be damned.

the powerful corporations that have bought our government and are strangling the 99%. It's called oligarchy, and it's real, and it's a good part of why the rust belt voted for a horrible candidate who promised to stand up against those powerful forces. Look at Trump's final campaign ad in the swing states. That should have been OUR message, and it used to be. We fight for social justice but we forgot the rural middle class. Bernie did not. If we want to win again we better start waking up. And if you're going to suggest we can't win back rural Obama voters without abandoning social justice, don't. Obama did both and we need to do it again
