Oldest trick in the book to establish totalitarianism. Intentionally create one massive crisis after another, economic failure, shortages, foment war globally, created an intentional 'pandemic', until the people are so miserable and weak they are begging the Government to take control and fix it. Then comes dictatorship and a totalitarian State.
This hackneyed process has worked all over the world all throughout time. It worked in Russia, it worked in Nazi Germany, and countless other societies. Now the Democrats are using the old worn out Communist/Nazi plan on America, with the people too fat, lazy, and distracted to even notice or care.
