They put Trump in to give right wingers hope.

There was where rats were dropped into tubes filled with water. The rats would desperately tread water and try to keep their head up. The average length of time before the rats drowned was 4 minutes. They repeated the experiment, but as the rats started to drown, they pulled them out, let them catch their breath and relax a bit, then put them back into the tubes. The average length of time before the rats drowned was almost 15 minutes.

Just the fact that the rats were rescued once gave them enough hope of being rescued again that they endured almost 4x as much suffering and exhaustion before they gave up.

You are a rat, Trump pulled you out of the water for a bit before dropping you back in, while maintaining this illusion of “hope” that he’ll come back and save you again. Because of this, you’ll last significantly longer before you desperately fight back than you would have if they had gone straight from Obama to biden.

Don’t be fooled by the false hope. Don’t hang on longer than you should because you think Trump or anyone else will come back and save you a second time. Get mad, and do something about it. Trump was not our friend, he was a tool, and still is

They all expected Hillary to win, with help from their cheating, as they did every election, but it wasn't enough. They fooled themselves.

That's why everything went into high gear after Trump was elected. It wasn't a plan, it was a crazy clusterfuck where the media, polticians, Hollywood and the deep state were all tripping over each other to derail Trump. In their panic they did so many over the top (or at least what they thought was over the top at the time) things that soon realized they could get away with far more than they ever thought.

Hence the open borders, covid, the immense deficit spending, the vaccine, the assassinations, the gaslightiing, the vilification of anyone not willing to lick the boots of the establishment. Biden himself would never have been tapped to be president, the guy obviously has dementia.

They now know what power they really have and are playing around with it doing various crazy things.

The only way to stop it is going to be civil war across all the western world, which seems inevitable at this point. None of that giant rats nest of power hungry sociapaths and sycophants are going to give up the power they have, and these kinds of people always are too arrogant to know when they have pushed it too far.
