It was delusional for so many people to think that the pandemic hysteria, hyped up first and foremost by the national media, would go away after the election.

True, the round-the-clock coverage and hyperventilating on CNN and MSNBC were intended to damage President Trump politically and boost now-President-elect Joe Biden, but that wasn’t its only purpose. It’s intended to boost all Democrats and portray them as responsible, decisive leaders so that they retain and remain in power. With that power comes control, and there is nothing Democrats love more than exercising government control.
