I'm just spitballing here but I can kinda see why things were done the way they were.

Had Hillary won in 2016, how many of us would have just been apathetic? All too easy when you're used to the abuse the deep state has heaped on us.

When Trump won in 2016 he threw a monkey wrench in their plans, and better yet, showed us we DON'T have to put up with the crap. Look at how many average shmoes are involved at the local level now. I think he helped put the fight in us.

I think the deep state is on a timetable, and they're trying to play catch-up, and in the process they're overplaying their hand and revealing themselves. Which helps the Great Awakening along.

Just my take on the last almost-5 years.
