Bernie Sanders may have found his perfect Supervillain in billionaire Elon Musk when the Senator of Vermont started a national 'Vechttigandse' tour in Nebraska, where his supporters 'the Bern felt'.
The 83-year-old progressive and former presidential candidate gave a call for action on Friday evening, where he warned what is happening now, not only influence on future generations, but the planet.
'Trumpism will not be defeated by politicians in the DC Beleway. That is not going to happen. It will be defeated by millions of Americans in Nebraska, in Iowa, in Vermont, “said Sanders.
He said that they should come together at the basic level “in a movement that says no to oligarchy, no to authoritarianism, no to kleptocracy, no to mass cuts in programs that the working class desperately needs.”
Sanders spoke for a crowded room in the center of Omaha with more fans in the landing outside.
His basis is fired over the first month of President Trump's second term and the activities of Musk, such as the world's richest man and his Doge team scrap the US government.
Sanders supporters were indignant about what is happening in Washington and had no problems expressing their frustrations. They sometimes shouted their support and even tore up at other times when they nodded at his comments.
While Trump was a target of a large part of the wrath who screamed angry and one person 'fascist', there were also screams of 'Fire Elon', '' Tesla sucks' and 'Elon's a Nazi'.
Senator Bernie Sanders started his 'Fighting Oligarchy' tour with a meeting in Omaha, NE on February 21, where he focused on President Trump and Elon Musk
'This country today under Trump is confronted with a series of crises that are unprecedented in our modern history, and what we are doing now will not only influence our lives, but also the lives of our children, grandchildren, future generations and / or the planet survives yourself, “said Sanders.
The senator will hold a second event in Iowa City, Iowa on Saturday while he is on his way to discuss how Americans can fight against Trump and Musk.
He promised to bring his message to every corner of the country.
“We are fast on the way to an oligarchy form of society in which a handful of multi-billionaires not only have extraordinary, extraordinary wealth, but unprecedented economic, media and political power,” said Sanders while the crowd is publishing.
The senator spoke about the inauguration of Trump and how the three richest people in the country, Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg were immediately behind the president when he was sworn in. He also noted that Trump's billionaire cabinet nominated in the third row.
Sanders has long been raging against billionaires, but with his last tour he now has a picture of pointing to the richest men behind the president in Washington while the senator speaks about the struggles of the working class.
'Democracy is not about billionaires who buy elections. It is about one person, “Sanders said,” said Sanders, referring to that Musk spent $ 270 million to help Trump chose.
“If we take on Trumpism, we take oligarchy,” he said.

The progressive senator called on moments throughout history where people have risen to change the American revolution, the struggle for universal voting rights for the civil rights movement and ending segregation and more.
“We can beat them. I know how much money they have. I know their ownership of the people. I know they can buy and sell politicians. I know all of that, “said Sanders.
“But I also know that when we stand together and don't let them distribute … we can beat them, and we have to beat them,” he explained.
The senator urged people to call their legislators and gave people to his website to get their numbers.
Sanders claimed that legislators are influenced by their donors, but said that people have to force them to pay attention to their voters who will not send them back to Washington unless they do.
He specifically dropped Gop conferreslid Don Bacon who represents Omaha.
The Senator of Vermont and former presidential candidate focuses on working class districts won by President Biden in 2020 and Republican House -members in 2024 with the Tour.
The second congress district of Nebraska, which includes Omaha and his suburbs, voted for Biden with almost six points in 2020. Kamala Harris also won the district in 2024 but with a narrower margin.
However, it has been represented by Bacon since 2017, which recently won re -election in 2024 with less than two points.
The race in front of the chair is considered one of the biggest Goois in the Midperms of next year and can help determine the fate of the house as Republicans currently sticking to a razor-thin majority in the congress.

At one point Sanders quoted the Gettysburg address of President Lincoln. While he quoted over a government for the people, by the people, his supporters also came in to recite the famous lines.
Vermont's senator has destroyed Trump's recent social media post, where he wrote that he saves his country, does not violate law.
Sanders argued that the president believes that he can do everything he wants to do. The law does not apply to him. '
“That is how he behaved, contrary to the constitution and the federal laws,” he said, his supporters moaned.
He also closed the president for attacking the first amendment to his criticism of the media and recently destroyed Trump's Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zensky a “dictator.”
“Everyone in the world knows that Putin started the war, except Donald Trump,” said Sanders.
Sanders has followed a huge basis since he ran for the president in 2016. The crowd remained engaged during the speech while some people bore Sanders equipment from his first presidential offer.
Others held up blue dots because Omaha is a well -known blue dot in a different red state.
At one point someone accidentally hit a light switch, put the room in the dark for a moment, but Sanders laughed at him and continued.
