It's the behind the curtain monied corporate class with the wealth. Trump is a vessel for them and their ambitions to create a corporate run, christian police state, and really, I don't even think they care about the christrian nationalists. Like Trump, they are a useful tool for their end game. Trump will be gone sooner than later and what will be left is their encroaching control of our political machine. Organizations like the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society are not interested in democracy. They are recruiting the people that will run the political machinery to follow the orders of the oligarchy. Once they have served their purpose, they too will disappear,
