Dude, what are you talking about. The ruling party? You mean Democrats, who have been held the presidency for less than a year? The ones that barely have a majority in congress, and the ones that appointed only 3 out of 6 judges in the Supreme Court? What does it even mean that the "ruling party" is now aligned with the "military industrial complex"? Democrats control conventional mass media? Because the behemoth that is Fox New's and the rest of Rupert Murdoch's media empire is, not mass media?

The democrats currently control two of the three branches of the federal government, the majority of Americans are democrats, establishment republicans are defecting a la Lincoln Project thanks to the fascist bent of the new Republican party, the democrats control the majority of the cities and the states with the most economic output and influence, and big tech workers and executives are overwhelming democrats. Sure it's not 100% but they are the ones in power rn and it has been growing for the last three decades despite setbacks at the federal level. News Corp is the only major media corporation out of _six_ that is not aligned with the democrats. They happen to be the only one not pushing the disinformation narrative and are gaining viewers, not losing them like the others. The military sided with the establishment, which is now embodied by the democrats as the republicans have become proto fascist populists, during January 6th. The military is now having hearings on equity and inclusion, requiring reading from liberal-co-oped leftist academics. The CIA recently put out that commercial trying to present themselves as holding progressive values. The democrats are talking about a new domestic war on terror and have acquired funding to expand the capitol police. The majority of officials in both the CIA and the FBI are democrats now. I could go on and on. I'm not trying to say that all of this is bad or that the republicans are better, I am just pointing out that establishment power is aligning behind the democrats after the whole Trump fiasco and this whole dis/misinformation narrative has strong authoritarian undertones
