Ruling elite to fight tooth and nail against Trump & MAGA

"It appears that Americans have cast off their insouciance and are going to take back their country from the two corrupt political parties, both of which have unleashed evil on America and the world, writes US economist and former Reagan administration official Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, referring to Trump supporters enthusiasm.

Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, a former Reagan administration official, argues that the enthusiasm of Trump supporters for the upcoming election represents a desire among Americans to reclaim control from the two-party system, which he claims has inflicted harm both domestically and internationally. Dr. Roberts predicts a significant chance for Trump to win the presidency, but he cautions that efforts might be made to disrupt the electoral process or block Trump’s potential inauguration.

A particular point of concern raised by Dr. Roberts is the Department of Defense Directive 5240.01, issued on September 27, 2024. This directive could permit the use of military force in domestic situations if approved by the Secretary of Defense. Roberts speculates that, in the event of a Trump win, Democrats or other elite groups could use this directive to declare an "insurrection," potentially hindering Trump’s inauguration.

Furthermore, Dr. Roberts warns that even a Trump presidency may not guarantee a complete shift away from militaristic policies. He argues that neoconservative influence may continue to push for aggressive foreign policies, increased surveillance, and restrictions on civil liberties in the name of "national security." He concludes that the ruling elite view this election as existential, meaning they will likely fight intensely to preserve the current system.
