You need to cite specific people, because right now, your post reads like the screed from an Alex Jones's rant. Vaguely gesturing towards some shadow organization isn't useful information, and it can lead to being manipulated by people who know how to weaponize that vaguery. You can't act against the unknown.

There's certainly bad actors at work, but they operate out in the open. Everybody who hovers in Trump's orbit, everybody who worked on P2025, the Heritage Foundation, the Federalist Society, fundigelical churches, every billionaire...

If they currently have money or power (often both), they're almost definitely part of the current problem.
