You don't think that authoritarians like Trump, if they cement power, will also use the digital tools to enforce their regime? I think they are much more likely to do so than the Democrats, and this issue has been distorted via conspiracy rhetoric. I recommend the work of Matt Stoller who actually does serious journalism than whatever steaming pile the New Age hack is peddling here.

Trump is an old man and IMO, echoing what Charles wrote, is not as likely a vessel for the global totalitarian agenda, no. I don't think he will 'cement power' in any way, shape or form frankly. With Trump the main risk is incompetence (and assassination).
I'm familiar with the work of Matt Stoler and Whitney Webb and think I have a very good grounding in the risks we face. I'm not saying Trump is not vulnerable but no I don't think he's as fully aligned as the DNC.
Yes mine is a spiritual perspective. As is Charles' (who btw has embraced the term New Age, in case you missed that). I was a Dem when I thought that Wetiko / Satanic forces/ MIC/whatever-term-works-for-you-wise-one were holding more sway on the Republican side. Now that the neocon switcheroo is complete with the Cheneys on the Dem side of the ledger, my opinion on where the risks are greater has shifted.
"Conspiracy rhetoric" is appropriate to the extent that humans have a tendency to conspire -- we each have to judge what we think is going down on planet earth today.
