I have absolutely zero doubt that given the opportunity, the liberal establishment would repeal the constitution and turn this country into a fucked up carbon copy of China. It's the ultimate goal of the transpartisan liberal elitists, it's exactly where they want to take us and anyone who doesn't get that by now isn't an actual real cogitating person, they're automated persotronics programed to simulate persons.
Not really. Most of the international elite believe in a democratic liberal rules based global order. The problem with their view is that this globalist democratic rules based global order is inherently technocratic and benefits the highly skilled, educated and mobile people the most. It overlooks the problems of people who are not highly skilled, highly educated or mobile. (Let us exclude companies or super rich out of the argument for now. You are not really interested in them as i understand)
The problem with this is that it creates a system of have it alls and have nots once again just between regular people. On top of ignoring problems of the have nots and putting the expertise and problem solving of have it alls in to power. While there is a heavily meritocratic argument for this, it doesn't mean that the system itself is stable. The stability of many systems is dependant on its ability to self-correct and the current democratic globalist liberal system in your understanding was not interested in self-correcting in this regard. Or self-correction was too slow.
Long story short, the system itself was too effective at what it wanted to do while not being able to self-correct for its mistakes. So although the "Technocrat" is very good and expert at what he does, he simply does not solve the right problems in many cases and doesn't see the problems of the people who are not the have it alls.
The reason Trump got elected is because people got tired of this. For better or worse, Trump showed that the have it nots matter and need to be heard. The question is if the "Technocrats" have learned their lesson or not. Ultimately, Trump is not the solution because he can't deliver the execution that previous "Technocrats" could. President who can't deliver on his promises is a useless president. Technocrats who deliver on wrong promises are also kinda useless.
This is also not some kind of theoretical concept. For example, in Europe, the politicians are often like "Tell us what you want and we will deliver". I heard it quite a lot especially from the German political side. Just shows that although "Technocrats" are pretty confident in their ability to do something are ultimately clueless at what exactly do they need to do to make people happy.
