I think wise men think much further down the road than 4 years... they planted this seed right after 9/11 and have been patiently waiting for the right time. The country wasn't ready for it then. Now after a significant number of Americans brains have been fried by the entire covid experience, they are much more pliable and ready to "roll up their sleeves" as it were. If we succumb to digital IDs, CBDCs, and/or social credit scores I think we are toast.
