Meanwhile in 'Le Monde':

"How does wealth persuade the poor to use their political freedom to keep it in power? By posing this illuminating question in 1952, Welsh Labour's Aneurin Bevan put his finger on liberal democracy's greatest paradox. In the age of Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, J. D. Vance and their Big Tech peers, the absurdity exposed by Bevan's paradox has become even more glaring.

Observe the elaborate conspiracy of the emerging "broligarchy" [from "bro", short for brother, and oligarchy. Broligarchy refers to the group of male billionaires who, driven by a toxic ideology, surround the Trumpist project] with a view to extracting as much wealth and power as possible from Donald Trump's second term is legitimately nauseating. Having amassed colossal fortunes from government and military contracts, while working relentlessly to dismantle government programs offering meager protection to the poor, these men have gathered at Mar-a-Lago, Florida, to kiss Donald Trump's ring and prepare to wield government power directly."
