My 2 cents:

• The launched COVID too early, probably because somebody pulled the trigger too soon
• The virus, if viruses even exist, or whatever it was, was largely ineffective. Only dying people in nursing homes were dying. (I did the math, your life expectancy increased if you tested positive for COVID. I think it was 5 years IIRC.)
• Despite the fact that the virus wasn't working as planned, the media was trying its best to run cover and make it seem a lot worse than it was, and a lot of people were buying it up.
• Trump played along but tried to get people to calm down.
• Trump also made them play the vaccine card way too early. It was supposed to kill half the population, but in the end there were enough placebos mixed in that only a few people got the poison.

The "Great Awakening" is happening right now. People are waking up to the fact that the government is wholly corrupt, that there is no political solution, that we are actually "governed" by demonic forces, and that there is going to have to be a reckoning.

I don't know what the end game is, but I can't imagine things ever going back to "normal." I don't think we can ever have Republican vs. Democrat or even Communist vs. Capitalist ever again. People are getting wise to the game that was being played, and they want nothing to do with it ever again.

Trump is the great "off" switch. People are supporting him because he is the only hope to end all the madness. If it weren't for Trump likely we'd already be in a hot civil war right now, with lots of innocents killed on both sides.
