Bernie Sanders analyzes the phenomenon of Trumpism and describes power mechanisms that not only played a role in Trump's election but also undermine democracy itself.

He targets billionaires such as Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, large corporations, lobbies, Wall Street, and an entire political system that today allows the top 1% of Americans to hold more wealth than the combined total of the bottom 93% of their fellow citizens.

He explains how large donations for political campaigns translate into influence, and how laws are passed or repealed, and international agreements are signed based on the interests of wealthy capitalists from different parts of the world, often to the detriment of entire countries.
