I was thinking about posting this out back, but after reading some of the latest insanity thought better of it. But here, you all understand the concept of a “hypothetical”...

GIven the goal of MAGA and draining the swamp and restoring some semblence of traditional America, suppose “all options” were truly on the table. None are perfect, all have consequences -short and long term- and pain is inevitable regardless of which is chosen. But also assume that human actors inside the castle would be protected and safe either way. “Game Theory”.

Which would you choose - incur a highly painful and visible but limited loss in the near term in order to get to the goal more quickly? Or pull in all resources to defend against that loss and incur the consequences and prolong the process?

Of course I’m making a lot of assumptions but I think it’s worth thinking about.

The Armor of God
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
Have faith in Humanity.
Have faith in Yourself.
Have faith in God.
The Great Awakening.

Of course I’m making a lot of assumptions but I think it’s worth thinking about.

Giving up the White House to derp looters would be a cataclysmic victory for them. It would provide fuel for the revolution such as to make the outcome inevitable, barring total war. And it would be historical.

The derps are not the people. The people are the people. And that is our House. It means something.

This is what I am also thinking—exactly, but you articulate it so much better than I would.

Plus, now that so many are working from home, there really isn’t a reason for so many congressional aides, lobbyists, and federal desk jockeys at the various agencies to be in D.C. anyway.

Trump is better off being in some friendly state for the time being, bringing revenue (from some gov. workers who will have to stay hotels for a bit to support him) to it that the local residents will appreciate.

The White House can be repaired, or rebuilt if necessary. The 90% of the inhabitants of D.C. and the well-off Virginia and Maryland suburbs who are demonrats can sit at home and think about who they have supported all these years while government activity in D.C. slows down—as does the spending by gov. employees and lobbyists at fancy restaurants and shops that are probably mostly owned by one of the 90%.
