Sometimes I get the vibe that this is all according to keikaku and that these past couple elections were just the ruling class realizing via Trump just how much they can actually get away with. They love Trump's policies, but they're worried Trump's persona is too off putting and perhaps they don't fully trust him, so they put Biden in the white house for a little while to install some child proofing on the levers of power before letting Trump back in to maul the working class and take all of the blame for it.
