‘The Blob’ is his concept, what he calls it… And it has nothing to do with constraining votes in elections. It has to do with constraining the actions and choices of an American President when they’re in power.
I think you just don’t understand the concept (for whatever reason), and have mistaken these real world organizations (that make up The Blob) as the fanciful stuff of conspiracy theories…
…no, they all actually exist, and have stated purposes and membersship lists, mission statement, budgets, ect.
P.S The EU controls companies through their legislative and legal bodies, which have sanctions, and market influence. They’re why apple can no longer have their own changing jacks - because although you’re not aware of it, they do hold sway over companies.

You not being aware of this, is not the same as them being “teenage fantasies” or folklore.
Pretty sure the blob restraining the powers of president in power is the obstructionist senate, mainly for a democrat president.
Yes I know the EU forced it’s will on Apple, that’s my exact fucking point.
It’s almost as if you don’t let capitalism completely rampant and create new age oligarchs then democracy works.
I guess also should watch an almost 2 hour podcast to find out it’s easier to call things the blob than Super PACs, lobbyist groups and think thanks. Thanks for the link.
