Two problems with that scenario.
1.) The majority of the country no longer trusts the federal government, and they certainly don’t trust the federal government about Covid.
2.) The federal government is downplaying the drones. They are saying there isn’t a drone problem. That is the opposite of what they did for Covid.
If you think about it, that’s even more fiendishly clever.
Let the masses form their own hysteria, fearing the gubmint won’t save them.
Brilliant, really.
Reverse psychology.
