I agree completely, but I also believe there are multiple reasons why the system would be fighting Trump. To me, it has to do with the future. A lot of people are focused on the here and now and the next four years, but what the democratic powers are probably concerned about is that a particular mode of competing in politics in this country is being exposed and destabilized (where before, it had run beneath the blanket of opaqueness in the process and also beneath high-flying moral ideology). The skeleton of the whole thing is being exposed. What is being fought for right now is the future of the democratic strategy in this country. If this process results in a Trump victory, we can expect a permanent change in the standards for our electoral process, and a very practical tarnish to the reputation of the democratic party that will last decades. It amounts to no less than the end, as we know it, of the entire democratic game. This is precisely why it is dangerous, because they've built a security measure into that strategy - should it end, they've got a population of impromptu "militia" which have been trained by decades of tax-payer handouts to believe their welfare is a human right - low IQ people that will take to the streets and destabilize the game board if the democratic system is leveled. That security is what they have counted on as a pressure point to rig a place for themselves continuously in American politics. "Wouldn't want to unleash the hordes would you? You know we own the media. We'll just blame the unrest on you. Oh, you want to remain in politics? Then you're going to work with us."
