I call it the consequences of the action of baby boomers. The dominant voting bloc for years that allowed and encouraged things like citizens united, creating an oligarchy.
Citizens United was the result of the US Constitution and the clearly written first amendment. The only "oligarchy" that wants it illegal to make a movie critical of a Presidential candidate was the democratic party and all four leftards on the US Supreme Court. Other than that, you nailed it. Scratch a leftist, find a fascist.
