The fun part will be when Trump rips apart the alphabet soup intelligence apparatus and displaces much of the senior leadership. Those guys have spent decades building webs of deep and strong connections, and I would be 0% shocked if those guys were able to successfully mount an insurgency against the Trump presidency, and they'll likely take with them the list of dissidents and malcontents to contact.

Idk, I just think it'd be peak comedy if, after sponsoring right wing movements around the world for seventy years, CIA leadership was forced into leading a left-wing counter revolution here at home
