In other words, as long as money is speech (especially when it's unlimited and anonymous) and corporations are people, these powers of corporate personhood will be exploited by the morbidly rich and our democracy will continue its backslide into autocracy. So, we just need to elect a supermajority of competent progressives that choose to satisfy their Constitutional purpose. Seems simple enough.

I regret posting this comment, but I am concerned about the climate and our environment, and the extraordinary lip lock, the fossil fuel industry has on even our government and current president

This from Heated: https://heated.world/p/143-coal-plants-and-a-punch-in-the

143 coal plants and a punch in the face, Biden Administration has approved 80 new coal plants, and 43 more on their way, and Pete Butigeg has approved four massive, controversial proposed crude oil export projects currently planned off the Texas coast.

And as this oil is being exported, it is not being used in America. Faces with gas at $6 a gallon or more, the oil that Exxon and other oil cabal exports could be used internally to drive down the price of gas.

Evidently the fossil fuel industry is at the core of the rot of this country, and example is Venezuela, whose troubles started with Chavez had the sheer audacity to actually believe that the oil in Venezuela belong to Venezuela and not Exxon Mobil, and ever since then our corporate media has been busy turning Venezuela into a big bad communist state, using the CIA and DOD, to overthrow the government and forcing Venezuela into relying on Russia, Iran and China, just as they did to Fidel.

If you aren't a "commie" and an enemy of America, the oil companies , our bought government and CIA will turn you into one.
