They are doubling down on the insanity. It makes sense in a perverse way: they have spent too much political and financial capital already that pulling out simply sounds too scary, and they are so hyped up on their own propaganda copium they really think they can just solve this shit by just pumping more propaganda and denying the issues their critics present as being the work of agitators.
They really are morons, aren't they?
Augustus fucking Caesar would have long cut his losses by now.
