Is the Left Agitating for War With Russia so it Can Cement Domestic Tyranny?

Locking horns with Russia would be used to further curtail civil liberties

The kicker: By revealing this publicly — perhaps as strikingly inappropriate as leaking a Supreme Court draft opinion — Biden administration officials appear to be bragging about these "exploits" and rubbing the Russians' noses in them. If you wanted to provoke a hot war, this is exactly how you'd do it.  But why would our officials seek conflict with the nation boasting the world's largest stockpile of nukes (6,000) in the name of thwarting aggression that, as I explained here and here, globalist policy invited and is none of our affair? It all has a very Dr. Strangelove-esque quality about it.  But there may be method to this madness. And, no, a mere desire to enrich weapons-manufacturer political donors doesn't explain it. There is one motivation that would, however:  A serious conflict would provide the Left an opportunity to seize complete domestic control, to cement its power — perhaps permanently.  For certain is that locking horns with Russia would be used to further curtail civil liberties. 

Civil rights' trampling would surely be worse under a major-war scenario

We know this because major conflicts always are thus used. Abraham Lincoln arrested opposition journalists and publishers during the War Between the States. WWI saw the passage of the Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition Act of 1918, the latter of which absolutely infringed upon freedom of speech. And Franklin Roosevelt is notorious for having interned U.S. citizens of Japanese and also of German descent and for persecuting some Italian-heritage Americans.  Civil rights' trampling would surely be worse under a major-war scenario today. Not only are we much farther down the rabbit hole of moral nihilism and wanton constitutional trespass, but Americans who even question our Ukraine policy are already labeled "stooges of Putin." Moreover, Democrats have already made crystal clear what they want: Complete power — by any means necessary.  This desire has manifested itself in politicians such as Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) calling for violence against political opponents and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) threatening SCOTUS justices who dare vote contrary to the Left's agenda.  Heeding such calls, the Democrats' de facto storm troopers have effected hundreds of violent riots, more than 600 in 2020 alone. One Democrat operative, Scott Foval, was caught on hidden video in 2016 talking about inciting violence at Trump rallies and unabashedly said, "We're starting anarchy here." 

Conservatives are hung out to dry if they step even one inch out of line, as the January 6 martyrs' plight proves

This violence is again now being ratcheted up, just in time for the midterms, with news that the unconstitutional Roe v. Wade opinion could be overturned. This is attended by threats made against the "conservative" SCOTUS justices and the doxxing of them, with activists encouraging protests at their homes.  All the while that this violence is tacitly approved by Democrat leaders — and it is — conservatives are hung out to dry if they step even one inch out of line, as the January 6 martyrs' plight proves. In contrast, 2020's CHAZ, or Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, takeover of part of Seattle was by definition an insurrection but was sloughed off. Why, its "warlord" leader, Raz Simone, was apparently never even charged with a crime.  This, not mention that Nancy Pelosi call
