16. Oh, the plan is worse than that

The likely plan is to do as much possible damage now, including blocking any more COVID relief bills, and let their mad king run rampant, leaving Biden a huge mess.

Next, bitch loudly that Biden isn't fixing things fast enough, and (rightfully so, sadly) count on the short-term-memory American public to fall for that trick, and put Republicans back in charge of Congress in 2022.

Use that position to make sure Biden can do practically nothing in the last two years of his term.

Grab presidency, and keep Congress, in 2024.
