It’s about control and fear.
Those extremist deplorable Canadian Truckers are responsible for this mess.
re: doubling down on stupid.
It’s not so much stupid as it is intended.
The destruction of the American economy is still not completed. This has to happen before the people clamor for the Great Reset. They must grind us into the ground first. The Covid fear-mongering is the perfect weapon to use. Klaus Schwab even wrote a book about it. There is also the mass censoring of medical facts and the shaming of anyone who dissents from the narrative.
It’s worked well so far but America is proving to be more resilient than the globalist goons imagined. People are starting to question, and resist, in larger and larger numbers.
