That reads a little bit like victim-blaming, because the worship of billionaires only applies to one segment of the working poor. Another big part of the problem is billionaires corrupting the political system to the point where whoever gets elected immediately gets love-bombed by the richest people in the world who promise them a share of the loot. Convincing people that voting "for the other guy" won't solve the systemic problems of our political systems is a tremendously difficult job and the billionaires and their bought lackeys know this.

And if you reject them the billionaires will order all of their lackeys to sabotage you in a million little ways, some of which will be blatant and some of which you'll only ever be able to guess about, so you'll be constantly under attack and unsure of who you can trust and end up spending all of your time on both of those things instead of more directly serving the public

I mean, it’s kind of easy to victim blame when the victims are utter shitbags
