Trump Assures That We Stay Angry with a Parade of Horribles

[Soph0571]

It's that the real mistake Trump is making is, by not giving us a break from new outrages, he's assuring that we don't lose our anger. I think that the GOP and Trump and Trump's evil cockscab advisers think that if they keep hitting us, we'll give up.

But look at those brave motherfuckers in Portland, man. The federal officers there are making every goddamn mistake in the goddamn book short of shooting someone with live ammo. Yet more and more people, less Antifa and more soccer mom, are showing up for the protests. He's fanning flames, and he thinks the fire makes his orange color shine brightly when it just makes him look like a fucking demon. What do you think is going to happen in Chicago? I don't put it past Trump to go full Kent State. Hell, I don't put it past Trump to cut unemployment benefits so that crime skyrockets in cities and he can justify his troops taking over. It's hard, man, really fucking hard to keep seeing what's happened to this country so quickly. It's heartening to see us not go quietly into that fascist night.

Emphasis mine

There is a real point here. Bullies always think that they can get away with hitting hard without any justification and get away with it. It is what he has done all his life. He has never had any boundaries because he was never set any, and so he pushes and pushes and pushes and like with all bullies he expects his violence to go unchallenged. And, this is the error they are making at the moment - most people despise bullies, especially bullies who try and steal democracy and they will stand up for the American experiment. He has no reverse button and as America is (finally for some!) waking up to the danger of this man, as the rude pundit so eloquently put it - people are deciding that they will not go quietly in that fascist night.

Bubbles vs militarized federal officers.

1. It's not like trump has a master plan, some of his admin may

But he is incapable of formulating, executing, modifying a plan towards a goal. Whatever he is doing is just whatever off the cuff emotional response he is feeling. Those can be specific and consistent, chiefly what feeds his ego and fits his bizarre world view.

2. There has never been a plan beyond accumulating wealth.

The crimes have spread and taken over and they really do not know how to stop the election.

3. And some outside of his admin are doing the planning. Domestic and foreign planning.
