"The Modelers, and the Media have given the Administrative Bureaucrats power over the entire economy and our lives that we have never seen; they are planning to fundamentally change the USA."

In the comments section of the Conservative Treehouse, Bob Guzzardi wrote in part,
The State’s Administrative Bureaucrats, so ably represented by the skilled communicators Doctors Fauci and Birx, the Modelers and ChiCom Flu have closed the USA and European economies.

Had they, the ChiComs, actually, planned it, it could not have worked any better for them.
The Models have transferred nearly unrestricted power to hundreds of thousands of bureaucrats who are, unlikely, to give up their power easily. The bureaucrats have a self-interest in the pandemic- “if you don’t do what we say, you will die and so will your whole family.” Consensus is the antithesis of empirical science and when Experts assert consensus as science we know there is an ideological agenda.

Only a Pathologically Paranoid Cynical Conspiracist would attribute self-interested motives to the network of Bureaucrats, Modelers, Academics and the Media who propose plans and policies that are best for the rest of us.

The Modelers, and the Media have given the Administrative Bureaucrats power over the entire economy and our lives that we have never seen; they are planning to fundamentally change the USA.

It does appear that, coincidentally, the Bureaucrats, the Modelers, the Academics and anti-Trump Media and the ChiComs are ideologically aligned.

Isn’t it a happy coincidence that the Greater Good aligns with the interests and values of the network Academic Modelers, Administrative Bureaucrats and Media Intellectuals.

And who,except a rude child of nature who knows no fine words for falsehood, would say that the unfortunate and unintentional coincidence that the policies and plans of the best of the brightest and the brightest of the best, the Great and the Good, align with the interests and values of the ChiComs?

Does this make sense or am I having Right Wing Trumpian Hallucinations?

The Democratic Party - "a cultural movement fueled by coastal elites, academics, celebrities, and the media"

Victor Davis Hanson notes that the Democratic Party
is no longer a liberal (a word now replaced by progressive) political alternative to conservatism as much as a cultural movement fueled by coastal elites, academics, celebrities — and the media. Its interests are not so much political as cultural. True to its new media identity, the Democratic party is against anything Trump rather than being for something. It seeks to shock and entertain in the fashion of a red-carpet celebrity or MSNBC talking head rather than to legislate or formulate policy as a political party.

...The Democratic party is now in the hands of Obama progressives, who in turn follow the lead of the hip, cool, and outraged media that have no responsibility other than to appear hip and cool and outraged. Trump apparently understands that and so focuses most of his invective not against a tired Nancy Pelosi or the shrill Chuck Schumer but at the major networks, mainstream newspapers, and Hollywood celebrities — the heart now of the progressive fusion party.

...Operationally, the celebrity world and the media have institutionalized political obscenity and street theater. On Inauguration Day, Madonna dreamed out loud of blowing up the White House; Ashley Judd went on a crude, incoherent rant about Trump. Since then, media fixtures such as Steven Colbert and Bill Maher have melted down, the one suggesting on the air that Trump had committed a sex act on Vladimir Putin, the other that he commits incest with his daughter. Yet both were simply amplifying the prior gross slur from Politico reporter Julia Joffe: “Either Trump is f***ing his daughter, or he’s shirking nepotism laws. Which is worse?”
