I can't figure out which it is. Yes, they certainly could be emboldened, and are working with the complicit media to start squashing opposing thought, but surely they're usually a little sneakier than this? I mean, it was only two weeks left. The media would keep the "insurrection riot 9/11" story going if needed, and then they could start with the fascism after they'd safely installed Joseph Stealin. Scared or triumphant? I don't know, just checking the pantry to make sure my food supplies are in place.
