You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

Sabotage. The chaos is a feature, not a bug. They’re trying to precipitate a crisis to justify taking even more control, to suspend the Constitution (which they’re already shredding/ignoring/defying) and impose dictatorship. I think I might have said this a few times. I hope you’re catching on.
