Possible that Bidan isn't making those decisions.
Troubling is the border situation, though. If military were in control I don't think they would allow the border to be overrun.
Only speculation I can muster is the real military is keyed on foreign threats and has to concede the border to the IC military for the time being.
When I hear people talk of the war inside the dumbs, they can list those under WH control and those still in BH control. Perhaps the border situation is a manifestation of that, if the DUMB theory is true.
2020 election, then, could have been a a DH offensive that the WH have to hold on the back burner for the time being. IOW, there is a very dangerous threat out there that was in place before the election, put in place to keep the WH occupied while the steal took place.
