The Democrat long-range strategy.

Preserving the Constitution and liberty are not on the Democrat to-do list. First the Dems, their donors and their think tanks went after industrial America. Now they are targeting retail America. You can cut the malevolence with a knife.

The lockdowns did not stop the [virus] surge and the [Black Lives Matter] race riots did nothing for black lives. . . . But the lockdowns and the riots did achieve their true goals which, among others, was to decimate the retail sector in order to reconstruct the economy and local politics.

. . . And the Democrat playbook is to cause the disaster and then control the recovery. . . .

The recovery is the carrot while the disaster is the stick, but both reconfigure the economy to undermine the independence of businesses and the social mobility of individuals, moving money and jobs away from conservative areas and businesses, and into leftist areas and organizations, while deepening big government’s death grip on the economy.^[1]

And all dissenting voices are to be ruthlessly suppressed.
