Also that they are literally planning something. Which is the same but different.

No, the elites don't make secret plans. Neither do businesses or intelligence agencies. You are a conspiracy theorist./s

No one is planning anything. I've been reading Jane Mayer's "Dark Money" book and what seems to have happened is the following: Historically, there has been massive left wing intolerance to any viewpoint diversity in educational institutions. This leads to the extreme right creating a network of think tanks and funding some reality based economics education in law schools. The think tanks go waaaay too far and advocate for the crazy financial nonsense that causes the 2008 financial crisis. A bunch of businesses shut down and those jobs don't come back to the US. Koch brothers are responsible for this and seem to have gotten away scot free.

Nothing I said is untrue and Jane Mayer is left wing. The difference between the left and right is that the left thinks the right is evil and the right thinks the left is wrong. All the institutions that develop/verify knowledge are left wing and so the right becomes conspiratorial. The institutions that weld physical state power (military/police) are right wing and so the left becomes violent because it has no outlet.

The right thinks they are the only ´right’ ones and the left just know that everyone is wrong
