What Can You Get For The Plutocrat Who Has Everything?

A government. That’s the joke. That’s the punchline.

The Plutocrat’s Playground
If you’re wondering what to get the billionaire who has everything, the answer is simple: a government. It’s already stamped Made in U.S.A. and comes with a price tag—priceless and it’s only for those who can really afford it. While the working class fights over crumbs, the ultra-rich carve up the system like a holiday feast. Both major parties? They’re just the utensils.

The mistake people make is thinking this is just about Trump. It’s not. He’s just the carnival barker distracting you while the tent gets dismantled. The real show is happening behind the curtain, where billionaires and corporate interests run the country. Democracy? That’s a relic, a nice museum piece we parade out every four years to make people feel like they have a say.

A country where billionaires own politicians like collectibles and auction off policies to the highest bidder. A system where elections are just performance art to keep the masses distracted while the real decisions are made in boardrooms and offshore accounts.

The question is no longer whether democracy is dying—we’re at the funeral and The Billionaire class (dressed in black!) are saying they own the Deceased’s estate.

The White Rose (Local Resistance)

Nazis didn't want to have a great revolt — "Second Warsaw" — nor small revolts, and their passion was to have the extermination machine working smoothly without resistance. -
Attributed to Adolf Eichmann

Ever heard of the White Rose? They were a small, brave resistance group in Nazi Germany—students and a professor, writing pamphlets to expose Hitler’s crimes. They weren’t soldiers. They weren’t radicals. They were people who saw the abyss opening and tried to warn the world.

They were caught, turned in by a patriotic janitor, and executed by guillotine.
There’s a lesson here. Authoritarians don’t fear armed uprisings nearly as much as they fear ideas. Satire. Truth spoken plainly. People refusing to look away.

So, here’s a modern question: Who plays the janitor today? Who eagerly hands over truth-tellers to the political Gestapo in exchange for scraps of power?

“We are your bad conscience. The White Rose will not leave you in peace!”

In 1944, a Hungarian Jewish leader named Rudolf Kastner struck a deal with the Nazis. He saved a select group—wealthy, influential, well-connected—while keeping quiet about the fate of the rest. Most of Hungary’s Jews were sent to Auschwitz, never knowing the truth until the gas chambers sealed shut.

This isn’t just a history lesson. It’s a warning.

Today’s political elites—yes, even the Democrats—knew Biden was a dud. They knew he couldn’t hold the line. But they didn’t warn us. Why? Because they’re saving themselves first. The rest of us? Up the junction.

When the ship is sinking, the lifeboats and the escape trains aren’t for you. Those seats are already reserved.

The Shitestag Fire: How Democracy Dies

In 1933, Hitler needed an excuse to wipe out his opposition. Then—conveniently—a fire engulfed the German Parliament building. The Nazis blamed communists, declared an emergency, and suspended civil liberties overnight.

Now, take a wild guess: What happens when the American Reichstag burns?
Will it be a political assassination? A staged "deep state" attack? Something big enough to justify sweeping emergency powers?

The modern fascist doesn’t need a military coup. They just need the right crisis, the right narrative, and a public too exhausted to resist.

And when the Great American Coup within a coup happens, the "moderates" will fall right in line.

MAGA’s Last Dance

MAGA fanatics don’t realize they’re disposable.

Disposable Ernst in his finery. His Make-Germany-Great guys got in the way.

Trump doesn’t need them anymore. He’s got the billionaires now. The corporations, the real power brokers, the actual deep state. The moment he stops being useful, he’ll be thrown under the bus like a pawn in a chess game he never really controlled.

Even Hitler had his Ernst Röhm moment—when he purged his most loyal Brownshirts because they became a liability. Will Trump’s biggest die-hard loyalists meet the same fate? Will they wake up too late, betrayed by the very system and man they worshipped?

History says yes.

So What Do We Do?

First, laugh. Tyrants hate being mocked. Nothing deflates authoritarianism faster than a well-placed joke.

Second, pay attention. But not to the distraction. Recognize the patterns. The next crisis won’t be an accident. The next power grab won’t be improvised.

Third, stop waiting for heroes. There is no cavalry coming. There are no "good billionaires" to save us. There is no institution left un-corrupted.

The only defense democracy has ever had is people who refuse to give up on it.

Call them the White Rose. Call them the Rosenstrasse protesters. Call them whatever you want. But be one of them. Or get in line and wait your turn for the train.

Who is as great as the beast? And Who can stand against it?

The Devil showed Jesus all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
“All this I will give You,” he said, “if You will only fall down and worship me.”

Matthew 4:9

**Just a little kiss on the Trump at Mar a lago.**

They worshiped the dragon for giving the beast such power, and they also worshiped the beast. “Who is as great as the beast?” they exclaimed. “Who is able to fight against him?”

Revelations 13:4

It’s a fair question. But history has an answer:

We can. If we want to.
