Prediction: Covid Insanity (sự điên rồ) Will Decline (suy giảm) After the Election (sau bầu cử)

By Daniel B. Klein

Back in July I suggested that much of the Covid-policy hysteria (sự kích động, cuồng loạn), propaganda (tuyên truyền), and over-reaction (phản ứng thái quá) in the United States was a strategy – if only a subconscious (tiềm thức) strategy. By wrecking the economy (phá hoại nền kinh tế) and making people miserable (khiến người dân khổ sở), propagandists (tuyên truyền viên) and lockdowners (những kẻ ủng hộ "phong tỏa") would talk voters into blaming (đổ lỗi) President Trump and vote him out.

In September I doubled-down on the idea.

Now I’ll triple-down: I predict that—regardless of the outcome of the election—Covid-policy discourse (bài thuyết trình, diễn thuyết, diễn văn) in leftist media (truyền thông cánh tả) will change not long after the election. The Covid propaganda will start to fade away. It won’t happen over-night, but, I predict, that from, say, November 20 the insanity will begin to recede and that thinking and policy will start going back to normal. The main impetus of the propaganda and wreckage will have passed.

By December 1 we should be able to perceive whether such a trend had started from November 20. Let’s meet again on December 1 and see how my prediction has turned out!
