As a war gamer, have you ever heard of “not playing by the enemies playbook?” This is a simple concept of war gaming.
You need to be aware of their book, but play in ways that provide incredible asymmetrical advantages.
Trump constantly uses that to his advantage, as now all MSM sites and Lincoln Project/RINOs have been identified as the perverse liars they always were, but weren’t commonly seen as being. Now, they are.
Trump turns lemons into lemonade, but you are one of the clueless ones who are offended both personally, and on behalf of others, when you should be clued into how being brash, truthful, yet humorous against Professional Liars leads to remarkable gains. Take the current Argentina and El Salvador presidents, for instance. The first cussed out the elites and their sacred cows before their election day, and terminated most government departments, once elected. In El Salvador, it took a guy with a Palestinian heritage to create a massive prison to humiliate and frustrate many tens of thousands of criminals, 24 hours a day, yet, crime has quickly dropped over 50%.
It takes mold breakers, or perhaps in your case, people who defy your ability to reason, to create a new paradigm.
You old schoolers don’t really get anything done, do you? After all, our current messes are because of you.
Well, not sure how asymmetrical it is to constantly hand your opponent gifts.
In the words of Napoleon: “Never interrupt your opponent when he is making a mistake” Trump just can’t help himself.
He has been gifted with terrible opponents in Hillary and Biden, barely won one election, lost another, and is a little better than even money in the current one. A serious candidate would be burying Biden by 20 points.
