But could the fallout from that be contained? Very high risk strategy, I think.
It seems high risk to me as well.
It is possible the Left is in disarray, they no longer have a center to direct them.
They had the New York Times. The New York Times is now so "woke" it is delusional. There was the President, or the Vice President, or the Congressional leadership.
Biden and Harris are jokes. Pelosi is struggling to contain the "Woke" while maintaining power. Schumer is openly fearful of the Woke.
The Woke have no center, no leadership, no real principle other than destruction of what is.
All of this is wonderful for our enemies in China, Iran, Russia. Cui bono? It isn't as if China does not have hundreds of thousands of agents in the United States, or isn't willing to spend tens of billions of dollars to push the USA into chaos.
China has openly preached the doctrine of "Elite capture" for decades. Corrupt and capture the ruling class of your opponent through bribes, blackmail, honey traps ... you have won the war without fighting.
