I think they will make it hard yes. They are also masters at influencing through propaganda. That doesnt always mean misinformation, it can be misdirection, agitation, divide and conquer, co-opting or just moving things in a direction where it will not be a threat. Then play whack-a-mole on anything left.
I think they will try, but it’s backfiring. And I don’t think they are masters of anything. They just had the fiat printer on their side, and that’s about to be taken away.
