Don’t get me wrong, it’s great seven million people hit the streets to show their concern that the USA is becoming fascist. But let’s be realistic: nobody in the GOP or in the presidential office gives a shit; they are just sitting it out, knowing full well: on Monday it’s back to work for the common Joe. We’ve seen similar big protests in London against brexit and in Germany against the far right: politicians don’t care, the effect was very limited. What do they care about? Mainly to get re-elected, so activate voters. Or actions that pull in the press: throwing rotten eggs at politicians, the Brits have had some success with that. Example France or Netherlands: a couple of trucks with horse manure emptied on the White House lawn or blocking the senate entrance with tractors. For the USA, the Boston tea party comes to mind; now thát was a No Kings protest.
The fact that you’ve got sooo many downvotes proves that what you’re saying is intolerable to many…
I think you’re fundamentally right, that the left is assuming that the right obeys group-pressure the same way that the left does and that is a bogus assumption.
Social-assertion can’t derail the complete-national-highjacking that’s being carried out in the US.
But the left can’t understand that: it’s unthinkable.
As I’ve said before, elsewhere, effective pressure, would be using private-investigators to build evidence of authority-criminality, then hiring lawyers to prosecute ( because establishment NEVER allows accountability against itself: it’ll NEVER prosecute its own crimes ) the crimes that cases can be built solidly for.
Not mass-social-assertion.
Getting convictions would be the kind of pressure that would have had a chance at changing the outcome of this.
Trump’s rule will result in destroyed Americas by the early 2030’s.
So long as NOBODY ever gets to be important like him, then that’s his “high-score”, it’s “how he won”.
There are 3 categories of game:
All the people who’re presuming that only the Zero-Sum game motivates everyone, are half of the problem: they’re incompetent at understanding the motivations of other players in our world’s game!
As “John Braddock” stated, in the book “A Spy’s Guide to Strategy”, IF someone’s playing a negative-sum game, & destroying you AND them is the intent, AND you are presuming some other-category of motivation in them, THEN you’re incompetent in understanding or dealing-with them.
You don’t understand their strategy, therefore you are incompetent in understanding your-own strategy’s actual options.
Trump’s playing mixed zero-sum & negative-sum game: so long as nobody significant lives after him, then he won. The greater the destruction, the higher his score.
The left can’t understand that, & therefore they keep playing by rules that are figments-of-their-own-imagination, and NOT actual.
Which, of course, obliterates more & more & more of the remaining-opportunity, until it’s all gone, & mass-butchery’s being enforced.
Status-quo doesn’t protect us from what they’re doing: it will fail, in a tipping-point, soon.
