I’d argue that much of what you claim wasn’t that way before Trump, really got it’s start under Obama, which was, of course, prior to Trump’s Presidency.
I think the Western ruling class has had a long-term agenda that goes back at least 100 years.
People can think I’m a nut, but I believe we are still ruled by the European monarchs from behind the scenes, and they’ve been plotting to get back whatever power they lost to the peasants due to both the Industrial Revolution and the rise of democracy.
Promoting Secularism and denigrating religion and the family is all key to slowly destroy the kind of economic independence that comes from family owned small businesses. They want to shepherd everybody into corporate/ government jobs and create a neo feudalism. And digital technology is the perfect tool for them to put the finishing touches on their totalitarian goals.
So I would say that as they’ve made their big push over the last several decades to crush American industry and entrepreneurialism, while promoting sexual decadence and the worship of gadgets, that they anticipated that there would be a Populist uprising at some point.
There’s plenty of evidence that the Oklahoma City bombing was an inside job meant to give legitimacy to the whole “Neo-Nazi/anti-government militia” narrative. The BLM movement was part of this planned divisiveness. All of this was done to get out in front of the Populist movement before it gained steam.
So yes I would say that a lot of the stuff predated Trump but it was done in preparation for the MAGA movement.
