The left wants to create a society in such despair that there is nothing else to grasp for other than the false promises of socialism/communism.
It's like Dr. Phil, when someone--a mark--gives his/her life savings to a con-artist, sometimes in Nigeria, claiming to be in love with him/her. Friends and relatives beg the mark not to send any more money. The audience shouts at the TV screen, "Wake up, you fool!" Yet, as soon as he/she leaves Dr. Phil's studio, the mark sends more money to the con-artist.
As P. T. Barnum is said to have said: "There's a sucker born every minute."
Tragically, the millions of suckers who fall for the Democrats' (et al.) con-game hold the keys to our children's future--and the con-artists, for whom they are an easy mark, fully intend to destroy the USA.
Create crisis. Hear the people cry, “Do something!” Govt answers. Same as it ever was.
