Their rhetoric is getting more extreme by the hour. It's a sign of some desperation and it WON'T help them.
It won't help them because ordinary citizens, who might be low info and inclined to simply trust "the government", ... ordinary citizens will be exposed to the extremity of it more and more. As time goes on, they will increasingly get the impression that the people running the government are over the top, getting bizarre, not making sense, lying.
The regime is a bit desperate because they know they are dropping in the polls, so they want to keep their base and they think that the more extreme they paint the opposition (i.e. us), the more the citizens will rally to their side thinking the US is under attack from ... us. But it will backfire.
Little things like FEMA weak late response begin to be noticed and remembered more.
The charade is wearing thin and becoming more obvious to the people whose adherence is wavering, the people they most desperately are trying to keep away from ... us.
