My thoughts exactly. I consider it is possible that they have some sort of "doomsday plan" or weapon for when all else fails. They think they still have a chance (however slim) that they can pull out of this. When they get to the point that they themselves believe that there is truly no hope, they could (will try?) to pull the trigger. as unimaginable as it is, A biological or chemical attack (DC?) could bring life to a stand still in America. Of course a disinformation campaign would immediately start (blaming it on Trump?) and Qanon as well as every other bit of news won't matter to anyone. conjure up an image of HRC in your head and this post won't seem so much like fear porn.
