Makes me wonder how far gone our intelligence community is. These are some of their own and they've done nothing to slow the spread of authoritarian bullshit. Ten bucks says they want an autocracy because there is some power they think they can weild that they think will give them complete control.
takes off tin foil hat
Wtf how did this get here? Damn aplphabets.
I think its most likely that these orgs have factions competing for power and personal advantage,some people are going to think Trump is going to further their interests, others not so much. Some real ghouls probably recognize that Trump only wants power for himself which is a threat to their power.
I'm not an expert though, I just had a very interesting conversation with a civilian Air Force consultant, who said that his org wasn't very factional, but was very hierarchical. He was worried about very regressive figures coming to power because it affected the whole org, saying that the military had to stay cutting edge or we would face defeat, and hardcore conservative ideologues, or people like Trump who only care about their own wealth and status, tend to resist advancements and new methods.
Lol, maybe the guys at the top. But the career people were unofficially pretty vocal about not liking him.
The question is hasn't anyone in the CIA have the "need" to make Trump stop breathing? They don't need much to "remove from the equation" other presidents from other countries.
