The LBJ quote above is a regular theme of American elections.
Through one lens (at least) the political process is best described in https://www.amazon.ca/White-Trash-40.../dp/0670785970; which can be summed as: I'm alright, as long as there is someone I can look down on.
The question of who will occupy the bottom wrung got a little more complicated after the slaves were made citizens...

Grope, molestation, gilded age? Back in the day, it was called romance. Don't let these bitches fool you. They use their vaginas much like someone uses a credit card. Any females on here take offence? Good! You liked out having a vagina which is nothing more than a ATM. Empires rise and fall because of vagina. And those with vaginas DESTROY civilizations because of their vaginas (see Merkel, Hillary, May). But thankfully, Kek granted we in the United States Emperor Trump who shall deliver us from these filthy one world sluts who bring foreign rapists and murderers from 3rd century hell holes in order to destroy their own culture and civilizations. Guys, stop being cucks. Find your nads Euroweenies before all your women are in burkas and you live in desolate slums.... Praise Emperor Trump and his wisdom! MAGA!
RIP Tosa

VP Pence's praise for Trump in a Cabinet Meeting
1.“Thank you for seeing, through the course of this year, an agenda that truly is restoring this country.”
2.“You described it very well, Mr. President.”
3.“You've restored American credibility on the world stage.”
4.“You've signed more bills rolling back federal red tape than any president in American history.”
5.“You've unleashed American energy.”
6.“You've spurred an optimism in this country that's setting records.”
7.“You promised the American people in that campaign a year ago that you would deliver historic tax cuts, and it would be a 'middle-class miracle.' And in just a short period of time, that promise will be fulfilled.”
8.“I’m deeply humbled, as your vice president, to be able to be here."
9.“Because of your leadership, Mr. President, and because of the strong support of the leadership in the Congress of the United States, you're delivering on that middle-class miracle.”
10.“You've actually got the Congress to do, as you said, what they couldn’t do with [the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska] for 40 years.”
11.“You got the Congress to do, with tax cuts for working families and American businesses, what they haven’t been able to do for 31 years.”
12.“And you got Congress to do what they couldn’t do for seven years, in repealing the individual mandate in Obamacare.”
13.“Mostly, Mr. President, I’ll end where I began and just tell you, I want to thank you, Mr. President. I want to thank you for speaking on behalf of and fighting every day for the forgotten men and women of America.”
14.“Because of your determination, because of your leadership, the forgotten men and women of America are forgotten no more. And we are making America great again.”Pence paused from praising Trump only briefly to also praise the other people seated around the table. But in doing so, he made clear that it was because Trump would want him to — and that these were members of a team that Trump was savvy enough to have assembled.Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

As he should. you pay more you get more. Wealth envy does not create thriving societies. Greed is the key baby! At least its out in the open, not like the rest of these politicians that become Senators making $175,000 a year and when they leave office they are millionaires due to years and years of kick backs and backroom deals. How many of your Euro Elite overlords in your governments in Europe are rich AF while preaching to their peasant class that they are fighting for them? LOL
Praise Emperor Trump for he is worthy of PRAISE!!! I will eat a bag of Cheetos in his honor tonight and maybe grab the old lady by the butter gutter.....
RIP Tosa
He may not be a Stalinist on economics or a bunch of other issues, but the cult of personality riff works BIG time.

What is the difference between wealth envy and greed? And people pay more because they get more and they still get more after paying more.
At some point it will be that you get more and then you get even more....rope or bullets, your choice...

"Topic is tired and needs a nap." - Tosa Inu
There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Hurray!
With any luck, the withering away of the state under Trump will free you to choose your poison:

Not only will pretty much any form of snake oil be available, but you will be free to purchase it :)
