I think you hit it on the nose with: "Political strategizing might best be focused on fastening responsibility for chaos on the cheap thug whose misrule is in fact responsible for the general condition of unrest."

Nixon won as the guy who was not in office and was promising to bring back law and order. Trump can't be that since his administration brought the chaos in the first place.

When you're running the show, and it's a shitshow, then you can't run as the guy who'll stop the shitshow.
