re: What do you think about this logic?

I don't think it's quite that Orwellian yet.

It seems they have found a way to the golden ticket though. By defunding the police, and allowing things to get out of control, they can then declare a state of emergency and ask for state and federal help. The federal dollars start rolling in. Almost none of them go to the people they are meant to help. Politicians and their cronies pocket the bulk of it.

It wasn't working during the Trump administration because they were getting called out on it. With the new boss, it's back to business as usual.

The goal has always been to get the federal treasure chest access. Power ends up coming with the money, but I believe the goal was always to get the money first.
