    America is becoming a technocracy and the political class are so paralyzed, they think a technocratic government would have space for them because they are rich and powerful now.

      Technocracy would be fine. However it seems more like crazy racist incompetence. Even if they are trembling in fear, why do they not stand up?

        Technocracy is more paternalistic than democracy, racism in the past was also backed by science and the firsts iq tests unfortunately, since the cost of doing science is often high it can be manipulated to political ends.

        In my opinion they are scared, but feel protected by their social standing, the logical decision for them would try to stabilize their wealth and adapt to the changes or leave the country if they are politically ostracized.
