This was the plan all along, but just 4 years sooner. "They" knew joe was getting old but thought he could handle the 2 terms and then the hyena takes it from there.
Once "they" saw that poor joe was losing it, they implemented the plan immediately once the cat was out of the bag.
Maintaining power is everything. Even if it means stepping on the democratic process. Even BLM smelled bullsh*t and to their credit, they called the dems out for it.
It's democracy in motion and it is beautiful ONLY if they are the ones administering it. Everything else is fascism.
edited to add: One thing "they" didn't realize was that kamala was a total disaster. That is why obowel didn't openly endorse her at first. He probably decided they have enough weapons to win:
a woman who is of color, an extreme progressive liberal, and an appeal to the generation Z crowd who love to make their political choices on TIK TOK and other social media, where fashion and being "in" is more important than facts, credentials, and critical thinking.
