      No, they absolutely know those things. Capitalism without regulation is not a risk to them. Collapse of infrastructure and the frustration of the legitimate processes of government are 100% the plan. While some of them play idiots on TV, they know exactly what they are doing. They are just bad at it. They aren’t really attracting the best and the brightest to their cause.
