We let them kidnap citizens and did absolutely nothing about it during the post Floyd protests. Even when we took back the white house, we did literally nothing about it

Now they are stepping things up. Push the bubble. End goal is not distraction. End goal is making sure that they have an armed loyal internal army to deal with any resistance to the dictatorship.

The rush is to get there before elections so that this force is able to deal with elections.
