It is the promulgation by the popular press of some or other "CRISIS!" or "EMERGENCY!!".
Everything is an existential threat to life, liberty, and America. WE ARE SAVING DEMOCRACY!!
This is calculated.
Pandemic 'Emergency'!
Climate 'Crisis'!
Immigration 'Crisis'!
Crime 'Crisis'!
Inflation 'Crisis'!
Drug 'Crisis'!
Gun 'Crisis'!
Fuel 'Crisis'!
Food 'Crisis'!
Homeless 'Crisis'!
MAGA 'Crisis'!
and on and on and on ...
These are all situations which are deliberately and intentionally created by government. Politicians LOVE the word 'Crisis' because in their minds this word equals 'more power' and 'less debate, control, or oversight'. This word throws off the chains of civilized lawful behavior and opens the door to absolute totalitarianism. That is why everything reported in the press is suddenly a 'crisis'.
This is how it has been done throughout history. Foment widespread poverty, famine, and lawlessness. Then offer as the salvation from all these curses, the very same people who initially caused them at the inception.
'I am your savior! I can save you from all of these calamities! If you will simply give me the absolute power that I need to fix all of this.'
This scenario has played out dozens of times in history in dozens of different countries. And now it is happening here right now before our eyes in America. And just like history, so many fools cannot see the consequences of what the Left are doing with purpose and with intention. And traditionally, historically, they are usually the first ones put up against the wall.
