The most thorough way to destroy an enemy is to turn it against itself. For example, you could catch a senior senator red-handed in a treasonous relationship with China. When you have full advantage over her in an FBI interrogation room, offer her the chance to save her own wrinkled skin in exchange for secretly cooperating with a plan to cause the political cabal she’s in to self-destruct in public, prior to an important election coincidentally or not.
Is such a course of action ethical, to use the leverage of legal jeopardy to gain political advantage? Definitely not, if it’s simply a matter of Party versus Party. But that’s not what this is, on either side. Though it may sometimes look like politics as usual, the underlying conflict is not between political parties, but rather it is war by other means.
There is a dangerous enemy at war with us. It’s variously called ‘the cabal’ or ‘the syndicate’. ‘The Illuminati’ could be a term for the enemy leadership, though in fact their minds are dark. The minions of the enemy include Senators of both parties, though the key Republican minions are rapidly being removed or redeemed back into the light. McCain and Graham are examples of each outcome, respectively.
I don’t know for sure if Feinstein was flipped for being an agent of China and forced to make the Kavanaugh confirmation a farcical disaster for the dark forces she serves, but if sooner or later it turns out to be so, don’t let anyone frame it as ‘Republicans playing dirty with the legal system to beat the Democrats’. We are at war with the most dangerous enemy we’ve ever faced - one that has already deeply infiltrated and subverted our most important institutions, and one that has started wars and assassinated our leaders over many decades.
In this war the fundamental conflict is not between the Democrats and Republicans, or even the US and China. But all of the above are in the line of fire.
War means fighting dirty, with determination. Most of us don’t have the mindset for total dirty war, yet. I wonder if something is arranged soon to change that.
You're right...
