The Distributist had the idea that it's bait. The idea being, they can bait out right-wingers into loudly declaring that there will be no quarter, so that any moderates in medicine and mid-level policy-making would be compelled not to turn on their own masters, since their potential allies would rather just hang everyone and let God sort them out.
I don't know if it's a good theory. It would depend on if there's any moderates left who only have doubts about Covid, and if they could ever be persuaded away from the powers that be. My opinion of moderates is not very high, so I would doubt that part of it, but the public narrative on Covid has more or less shifted to it coming from a lab, and the policies being retarded (though they haven't accepted it being outright hostilities, as is typical for normies). I don't know how liberals failed to get that narrative under control, but they did, so that ball is in play.

That was my main issue with his idea. I think 4 years of Trump + almost 3 years of Covid means for the most part you aren't already GAE-averse you'll never be because you either agree with it or are cowed and will just go whichever way the Ones In Charge go, whoever they are. The sides are for the most part already set, we just have the giant question of What Now? looming over us.
