It’s such a laughably weak veil the rich pull over people’s eyes I’m surprised more folks don’t figure this out.

Its a layered veil. I've seen plenty of people take some mushy centrist "Yes, the system is broken but did you see what's happening outside of the line?! Its much worse!!!" position.

Also, lots of "I just want people to Obey The Line" rhetoric that precludes any kind of conversation about where Mr. Moneybags got the stick that draws the line from.

And of course, if you question the line or challenge the guy with all the money, you're shoved to the other side and accused of being a foreign agent.
