Trump is Strategically Enraging Democrats and Will Continue to Do So

Trump is Strategically Enraging Democrats and Will Continue to Do So

President Trump is perpetuating a planned strategy of bad governance in which Democrats will be so enraged and thirsting for retribution that Republicans will be terrified at the thought of a Democratic takeover. Trump wants Democrats fighting mad to create a narrative that Republicans must retain power, or the resulting Democratic revenge will be a bloodbath on the themselves, the Republican Party and their constituents.

Republican politicians have failed so badly in governing that they don’t pretend to even try to perform their duties honorably or efficiently. Republicans have taken on Trump’s aura of graft, deception, and self dealing and have been so bad at taking care of the people in America, that in many ways the only way back from disastrous Republican policies and depraved indifference is through radical changes in policy and governance. Republicans are forcing a situation in which Democrats will be tasked to immediately enact emergency policies and procedures to stop a cascading failure of American systems.

This is why Trump is in no hurry to clean up his and his party’s act. He wants illegality and corruption to be so obviously clear and present so as to convince his followers and cronies that, Hey, you people best keep me in power so I can protect you from the marauding Democrats, because as you all know, we are corrupt and unlawful as hell, and they’re coming for us! The Republican fervor for Trump isn’t so much to help him, rather it is self preservation for a party and a people in deep trouble in politics and personal life.

Trump says something outrageous, just another day.

Democrats can either respond in kind with their own outrage, or say nothing.

If Democrats say nothing, it's seen as passive agreement. And that's not option.

This doesn't make sense to me. Why would you want a totally corrupt and worse, inept government to continue to screw you and your children? If my government isn't doing its job of taking care of me then I want a different government. Just saying...

Sigh. I may never get it. I want a government that works. Sigh.

Handled with the appropriate action. If you think it thru and act, you can for the most part side step it. It’s important to never react...that’s what they want.
