Yo, what can't he do? He never divested his businesses worth a poo poo! He doesn't need to follow the rules if he's already flagrantly not following them! :obama:

This is why I think that planning for the next elections is a joke.

Trump doesn't give a poo poo about democracy. He has power and prestige and I doubt he has the slightest desire to give those things up. Keep telling yourself he'll get tired of it, maybe that will keep you warm in the camps. If he dies, Pence will care even less about those petty obstacles to the Dominion.

he can do what's usually done and tie it to some federally funded thing, so that only states that don't pass regulations exceeding those at the federal level are eligible to receive that funding

that sounds like a good way to start a chain reaction leading to civil war

not that that'll stop him, of course

also with all due respect you are discounting the ability of a Trump government to suppress response sufficiently to where he gets away with it, even if blatantly heavy handed

I mean he can't stop all resistance not forever and always

But uh he does have the National Guard

It's really easy: attention.

Didn't you know that kid in elementary school who would act like a total irritating piece of poo poo, and everybody hated him, and he didn't care because at least they were paying attention? Negative and positive, it's all the same to these people. Milo would be just another twink among thousands if he wasn't such an obnoxious troll.

He's become infamous as a result but one day hes going to get his smarmy face Spencered. And nobody will cry.

if nazis keep growing bolder and angrier he might eventually learn why minorities shouldn't try to suck up to the far right

and by that i mean that he'll go to some nazi rally to whore for attention as always and get bashed

TheWeepingHorse posted:

The "while you were arguing about crowd sizes" thing is obnoxious, but there is a point worth discussing buried in there.

One of Trump's most consistent tactics is to move in a cloud of distracting insanity. He pushes his oppositions' buttons, while going off to engage in something else - often, something much more important. He's especially fond of getting his opponents to argue about something that neither he nor his supporters care about. It's a fairly well-practiced bait-and-switch - it's an exaggeration of more conventional negotiation tactics, in which you "give up" things of little value to you while also disguising things of high value to you.

I can't swear that the huffing over crowd sizes was a calculated move in and of itself. However, it is well worth remembering that Trump loves his own outrageous image, and that much of this image is actually quite purposeful, and weaponized.

The enemy is simultaneously incompetent and machiavelian! extremely umbertianly

gently caress going back to 20th century style, leverage the idea of Trump Style Politics properly and you could improve things depending on how universally loathed he gets

basically get it to the point where Trump is synonymous with insane failure

he's doing his best so far

This is something everyone needs to come to terms with right now. The midterms mean nothing, the Democratic Party means nothing. What is planned here are changes that go far beyond anything our civil politics are capable of ameliorating. Pure, concentrated destruction.
