Between rising prices and gilded ballrooms, Trump has practically giftwrapped oppo ads for Democrats.

    No, Trump is working on forcing somebody, anybody to “justify” either his invoking of the Insurrection Act, XOR invoking martial-law.

    Try impeaching him?

    That “justifies” the Insurrection Act.

    Get violent against his ICE terrorism of your city?

    That “justifies” martial-law.

    He’s BEGGING somebody to “justify” his total-dictatorship, & thus-far people aren’t cooperating.

    The problem is that he can’t be impeached, now, because he’ll just escalate & use that to “justify” his dictatorship: there’s no check/balance left, really, only a wrestling-choreography that “delays” the inevitable, now.

      I don’t disagree with your interpretation, but the problem with this mentality is everything you’ve suggested Trump is trying to incite is everything that could be done to resist his power. I worry that people who read this take walk away with the idea that the nation needs to focus on the ceiling scuff marks and choke back our bile, as opposed to fighting back against the rapists; which is Not the message I want people to have in their head.

      Is that a logic gate? An OR is also quite likely.
