I am with you but I do not think it was pre planned. It was however quickly exploited by the left and China just like you said.
I agree. When the first 'stimulus check' was proposed, you could see how the Dem leadership (Nancy and Chuck) just leaped at this opportunity to launch the United States into a Socialist style government. They implemented a slightly smaller version of the 'Green New Deal', that would never have passed on it own. They saw this as an opportunity to bail out the bankrupt Democratic States, and Cities, and ran with it. And now they are pushing the shutdown hysteria to enhance their opportunities to execute voter fraud on a level previously not imagined. That is all what the continued CoVid panic is about - keep saying that voters can't go to the polls (because they are afraid of getting sick) so that they can push the mail-in voting scam. Send out a gazillion ballots, and proceed on their vote harvesting methodology - a process which they have perfected in California.
