The argument goes, in fact, that some of the most powerful people in the country thought they were an oligarchy until very recently. And now they're a bit flummoxed. See for reference the endogenous collapse of the GOP leadership last year. The more libertarian, business-oriented members of that party have taken this election on the seat of their pants. And meanwhile liberals are becoming their own worst enemies, too. It's a fairly interesting time to follow politics, as long as you keep yourself on a one month time delay.
