That’s been their plan from the beginning. It’s a strategy they’ve been employing for decades.
When their policies fail, it is always because we didn’t go along far enough for their deficit-spending, big-government ride. “If only we’d spent more. If only we’d taxed more, this never would have happened.” They use the old trying to prove a negative trick.
The answer to that is that their plan has never worked. Intelligent people change direction when their downhill road keeps getting hotter and smelling more and more like burning brimstone.
