More and more Trump is boxing the left into a corner where they have only three options:
-
Keep claiming there is nothing wrong with the vaccines, in which case Trump makes sure they own the mishandling of the pandemic moving forward. They can try to play the "It's the unvaccinated's fault" angle all they want. That's not a winning message when Trump is doing the exact opposite and EMBRACING the vaccinated under a big tent. The more we restore election integrity moving forward, the more the left are going to need the unvaccinated to vote for them if they ever want to win elections again.
-
Blame the ineffectiveness of the vaccines on Trump in order to blame the current mishandling on him, in which case the entire left must shift to a narrative of distrust of the vaccines (which is what we actually want anyway.) Fauci is currently trying to ride the fence on this one by saying Trump "poisoned the well" on vaccines and that's why they are ineffective, but again, this won't work. They desperately needed him to oppose the vaccines, and he never took the bait. The more Trump doesn't budge on the vaccines, the more the left will be forced to acknowledge the problems with the vaccines if they want to continue to be able to use it to attack him.
-
Try to pivot away from the pandemic narrative entirely by taking the "Hurray, mild Omicron is killing off the other variants, looks like the pandemic is coming to an end" layup that has been handed to them on a silver platter. This would force them to abort Operation Lockstep years before they wanted to, and mean that they would have to move on to the next phony crisis on their list in order to sell the public on the Great Reset. Most likely the "Cyber Pandemic" narrative is next, as that's what they keep chattering about.
If they fail to to sell the public on the Great Reset by utilizing the Lockstep virus narrative, which it increasingly looks like they have, at least in the Western world, they will most likely cut their losses and choose option 3; "OMG, Omicron saved the day everybody!"; which is what I think Trump is trying to force them to do: Cut their losses and move on to the next fake emergency. I think Trump would be more than happy if Covid becomes such a radioactive topic for everyone involved that it's not even an issue people want to talk about by the time 2024 rolls around.
Unfortunately, the big obstacle we face is that everyone--especially normies--expect this to pass, hopefully sooner rather than later. Thus, they are all too willing to compromise on every issue. This will not pass. To the contrary, the screws will be twisted tighter and tighter, thus causing the sonorous squeal of the Sheeple to become more and more pronounced. Remember, this was only the first salvo, a practice round. The next one will not have blanks. People will die and the Sheeple will demand that everyone who does not conform be punished severely. Thus, the idea that we still think this issue can be addressed politically must die. There is no end game. The only end game is to understand we have been invaded by a sophisticated enemy using psychological warfare. When bio-weapons are unleashed, the population WILL succumb completely.
Not this time at least. We should preserve it for as long as we can fren
Agreed!
