(31,261 posts)The best choice for us is to have a bitter, weakened Trump limping into the 2020 election, with the vast majority of Americans loathing him. Incumbency won't help him at all.
If we go after him and create a shitstorm, that will only give fence sitters a reason to hold on to him.
The part of the opinion that I don't see is rising salaries. We are in a permanent era of income inequality for two reasons, the first is automation and the second is the worldwide portability of production. Those two factors won't be changing much, as a matter of fact, automation is only going to worsen the jobs situation. I will use a personal example. I was looking at a packaging and labeling machine, if people are used, 4-5 people would be needed, if the machine is used, 1 person (a minder in case the machine develops an issue) would be needed and there would be little to no rework - hard to justify using people other than to provide jobs in the hope that the workers also become customers - most large companies don't make that connection and just go with the machine.
