the petit-bourgeoisie and the clergy and the police and the types of "proletarians" who work for companies like raytheon are all a bit closer to the levers of power than the average american proletarian

Collectively, perhaps. But its not like there's a body of Raytheon Engineer Priest-Cops with a single coherent policy. Everyone is fragmented and commodities and constantly in fear of being replaced.

If we had a functional AFL-CIO that was staunchly pro-Israel, you could pin some blame there. But we don't even have that

reactionaries don't need to be coherent to be footsoldiers of fascism. The KKK, the black hundreds, the SA, the proud boys, etc. All these groups can seem incoherent at times, and are different from each other in a lot of ways, but they still ultimately serve reactionary ends. The same is true of the cops, the clergy, the troops, etc.

Everyone is fragmented and commodities and constantly in fear of being replaced.

that helps bolster reactionary ideology as well. It's why we have false consciousness everywhere.
