It's how they play the game. Didn't you notice how they pivoted during the convention to make it appear they wanted the kids to go to school? Yet the dems control the teachers union who oppose going back and even striked in some areas when the state wanted schools to open.
They've blamed Trump for every single thing that's wrong when it was them that shut their cities down costing jobs, tax revenues, increased unemployment claims, welfare, evictions, and decreased revenues to companies. The press reports it as such and they just all dog pile on Trump and the GOP. Politics is a dirty business and nothing is ever your fault it's always the other guys and when the public hears it enough they start to believe it. The dems silence any opposing view and voila they're the righteous cause!!! Like the peaceful protect ruse!!
