my guess is they're trying to establish the new normal by de-escalating tensions now that theyve secured the presidency. Only way to do that is to calm down the right, the people that theyve been deeming terrorists and racists the past 5+ years.

If they can calm down the tension and aggression that exists, theyll have an easier time implementing new draconian laws giving them more and more power. If people are already at a tipping point, well, let's jsut say that they dont want an actual civil war to occur.

They may start opening up economies again and "allowing" some semblance of normal life to make its way back to society. But this is only temporary and only serves to push people away from that tipping point.

Because if we do get to that point(and i believe we will within a few years), a likely scenario is that armed americans may try to take out notable political/governmental figures. Should any police force stand in their way, well, lets just say the police have publicly taken a side, and it isnt the people's side. At that point, their only option will be military force. Now, if the military is ordered to shoot american citizens, it will permanently split america in 2. Because while you WILL have military members that will blindly follow orders like good dogs, there are also a good portion of the military that still have the capacity to see and understand what is going on that will refuse to carry out that order. That's the line that will be crossed that incites full blown hot civil war.
