Response from Public Data Server to Query: how did technocratic movements come to power towards the end of the first golden age?

Following the economic collapses of the 2030's, and the failure of mainstream political groups to offer effective solutions, the Technocratic Movement emerged as a major political force within the United States, Canada, and Mexico, offering what they described as practical engineering solutions to the nation's problems. Backed by wealthy donors and powerful elements of the existing intelligence and military apparatuses, they were seen as an alternative to growing left- and right-wing revolutionary movements, described by one sponsor as “a revolution we can control.” Following the election of President Hale on a Technocratic platform in 2040, the economy was successfully stabilized by extreme measures, and popular support grew for the full implementation of the Technocratic program. This coincided with a purge of anti-Technocratic elements from the military and intelligence services, and the repression of dissent. A full merger of the United States, Canada, and Mexico into the North American Technate was ultimately achieved in 2046. The success of the North American Technocratic movement was subsequently emulated by NorAmTech allies and vassals elsewhere.
