Here’s why the Far-Left Media and Academia WANT the economic collapse caused by everything shutting down to blunt the advance of the deadly CoronaVirus epidemic:
1. First and foremost, it makes the re-election of President Trump less likely
2. The collapse of capitalism makes Socialism and Communism more likely to advance
3. It means less cars on the road and fewer industrial gases being generated, so they think there will be less global warming
4. Less people will have children because times are tough, and that reduces the growth of global population
5. The collapse of oil prices stops all fracking, and makes fossil fuels less profitable. This hastens the transition to renewable energy resources
6. Social distancing is harming the functionality of churches, both socially and economically
7. More people are winding up on various forms of government assistance. That locks in their vote for the Far Left.
8. Rich people are losing money, lots of it
They have an agenda. This global calamity is being manipulated into their crowning achievement. And that is The Great Hoax. Just look at how they twist and distort all news to make everything as negative as possible. It’s one giant ongoing hoax.
The Far Left initially attacked President Trump and called him a racist and a xenophobe for closing our borders to China. By taking that position, they were essentially saying that CoronaVirus is nothing to be concerned about, and Trump is over-reacting. On February 24th, Nancy Pelosi was prancing around in Chinatown without a mask and without practicing any social distancing. She said everything is safe, and everyone is over-reacting to CoronaVirus. “Come join us”

They found it on February 28th. At a campaign rally, Trump started complaining about how the Democrats politicized the CoronaVirus issue, and he called that politicization a hoax. Here’s a one-minute video of that speech.

The first 12 seconds are crystal clear in what he’s saying. “Now the Democrats are POLITICIZING the CoronaVirus. You know that, right. CoronaVirus. They are politicizing it”. He explained that first they tried to get him on Russia, and then the Impeachment, and now they are politicizing the CoronaVirus. ”This is their new hoax”. The politicization is the new hoax.
I personally know some Far-Left activists who are going to great lengths on social media to repeat the lie that Trump called CoronaVirus a hoax. These are smart educated people who know exactly what Trump said, but they are talking down to their audience of followers. It’s so condescending. They talk to their followers as if their followers are uneducated people who can’t think for themselves. I find it revolting how they talk down to and hoax their own friends and followers. It’s totally elitist, and In some instances, it’s a passive form of racism.
They really got people convinced. It doesn’t matter how many times Trump explains his statement and shows video footage to back up his position, the Far-Left media has convinced millions of gullible people of that position. They are locked into their narrative, and riding it hard.
When people realize they’ve been hoaxed, it’s time to be “welcomed” by the Welcome Movement.
The Great Hoax is everything the Far Left is doing to manipulate the CoronaVirus Crisis, and to get as much mileage out of it as possible to advance every aspect of their socio-political agenda. It’s disgusting that anyone would try to get political mileage out of real people suffering and dying. And that is the real hoax.
If Trump was smart, he’d take my 8 points and outline them, and start calling out this hoax as The Great Hoax. And if he says it repeatedly and loud enough, which is exactly the way he likes to talk, eventually the concept of “hoax” and “CoronaVirus” will come to mean the Far Left’s politicization of a global calamity.
And Trump needs to explain that when everyone else isn’t looking, the Far-Left activists are snickering and cheering on the economic collapse, and the prospect of a failing economy ousting Trump in November. The Great Hoax brings their entire worldview much closer to realization.
