It’s just one thing after another with this bunch. All they care about is controlling everyone and everything and they literally do no care how many lives or nations are destroyed in order to get absolute power. They really and truly prefer a system where the vast majority are penniless beggars with a tiny few elite leaders than a system where there are literally hundreds of millions doing well while a tiny minority live off government scraps.
I know. I'm in shock and grief at what has transpired over the past 18 months. I honestly don't think this corrupt power grab can be reversed and I'd be surprised if the (yes, eroding) freedom we've known will survive. The "vast majority" you mention is just too ignorant, bought-and-sold or unaware to whimper, never mind fight.
