The only way for liberals to stay and remain in power is to produce misery and hardships for others, either directly or indirectly and once this happens pretend to be the ones who can help to correct the problem what really never happens. Unfortunately way too many people are unable to see through this charade and get drawn into this trap of deception until it is too late with the world full of examples. Of course this doesn’t imply that conservatives are always exemplary pillars of righteousness either.
The only way they can cause the sort of upheaval they need to usher in the Socialist revolution is through total economic collapse. Not hardship, collapse.
They want something even bigger and immediate than the Great Depression and someone even more hardline than FDR.
