This doesn't really seem like a good strategy. Making people miserable under your leadership is not a winning strategy. Are they hoping to beat people into submission? That never works for long.
I don't know who is calling the shots, but it ain't Biden. Biden is 100% expendable and is there to take all the blame. They don't have to worry about public perception anymore or trying to win an election. Biden is a 4 year president, at most, no matter what happens.
Even so, regimes and governments change power by ballot or by bullet. Any power that doesn't want to have power taken from them either way would keep the population comfortable enough to not make it worth their while to change government. Deliberately setting it up so that the people you govern grow increasingly miserable is not something even the CCP and other dictatorial regimes do. Yes, the people do grow increasingly miserable under these regimes, but that is because their systems just don't work, not because they don't want them to work.
