The Democrats have no fear whatsoever of public opinion. They think it matters not at all. They are going to increase the devastation and misery to as high a level as they can. They believe it will land in Trumps lap because he failed to prevent it. And they will take over and rule with an iron fist, permanently. This is what their play is, this is what theyre going for.
This is the great come apart. All of western civilization teeters on the edge of a great Dark Age of totalitarianism.
If that happens, there will be a civil war.
