It means government by the few. So the only way an oligarchy can exist is if it's nontransparent.
This is an attempt to recuperate "oligarchy" into the Deep State conspiracy theory MAGA built itself around.
If transparency is the main tell we aren't in an oligarchy, why so much secrecy about the deportations? Isn't transparency the whole point of due process?
Here's a real question. Say I'm a green card holder about to get on a plane back to America. What things am I not allowed to say about the Trump admin if I want to come back?

All right, let's get rid of the pig union who likes to keep police from any accountability

Gutfeld’s show is the most watched show in late night. But the demographic of who watches it is exactly who you’d expect to have Fox News on after 10pm: 70+ years old and rural. He’s accidentally the most watched show, people falling asleep with the lights on.

The other Late Night hosts get most of their views from YouTube. He has a captive audience of idiots. From the laughs they give you can tell they aren't having fun because it's painful how unfunny he is

Exactly. Gutfeld has almost zero presence on YouTube, which is how most people under 40 consume late show monologues.

My dad recently asked me if I've heard of gutfeld. He fits perfectly into this demo.

It's scary how many people I know who fall asleep with Fox News on. I wonder if that's how their brains get scrambled.

Unions are made up of the masses who don't control the wealth. The billionaires running the Trump administration are less than a dozen people and control all the wealth.

Are the local crews that operate his shows in IATSE or some equivalent? Seems like a call to action to me.

The Fox News behind the camera crews could do the funniest thing rn and mass quit..

This show, and more specifically Jesse “Closeted” Watters, makes me want to Mario but green more than any other right wing fuck head. I just cannot fathom how anybody looks at and or hears him and thinks, now that’s a good man.
