Not sayin I know the whole plan or anything, but if I was planning to make a long, hard to accomplish takeover, I’d love to convince the other side to do nothing while I did so. That would be easier to do if I convinced them that they had a secret savior waiting in the wings for the perfect moment, and they should just sit back and chill til this nonexistent person called them to action.

Again, I don’t know things one way or the other, but if the Left was wanting a clear path for their takeover, we’ve certainly given it to them with minimal fuss.
