This.

Not just for the normies, but also for the hard lefties who wanted so badly to get "their guys" in at all costs, so they could be "back in control" & have their way. Who thought they could establish their "utopia" if they just got all their political "opposition" out of the way.

It is to show them that even they are no longer in control of it all like they thought they were & would be. That the "new rules" of tyranny not only apply to the right & the moderates, but to them, too. They are seeing that even they will not be getting their way, nor will anybody or anything be going back to normal. As the ability to control what is going on politically becomes more & more precarious the farther this goes, they will begin to see just how easily it can turn against them (and perhaps it will). Many of them will see that the corruption they ignored or helped put in place to satisfy their ends at the expense of their "opposition's" has grown even beyond them & their control.

Because who can really control a president that doesn't even know what he is doing?
