I wonder if Alinsky ever contemplated someone like Trump when writing his "rules for radicals"?
The dimwits have been using his hand book for literally 25 years, and quite effectively. One of my biggest criticisms of the GOP and why I've never been inclined to register or support them, is their weak-kneed approach to politics. They've been allowing the dimwits to ever so slowly nudge policy towards the left for 2 decades, and it's been working. Along comes Trump, who, better than ANY republican ever, including Reagan, has no problem throwing it back in their faces. Yet, he doesn't stop there. Historically, the GOP would call a press conference, put forth their perception of the facts, and hope American's agreed with them on policy differences. Not Trump, he actively engages them, and trolls them in such a way that would actually make Alinsky blush. He brilliantly outs them, forces the entire dimwits party to embrace buffoonery, moronism, and anti-American ideology.
Yes, Trump has literally, with one tweet, forced the dimwits to not denounce domestic terrorism, call for no borders, free healthcare to anyone that makes it here illegally, and embrace a green plan that will conservatively cost 93T dollars over 10 years... LOL
I know a lot of people are starting to recognize Trump's brilliant political instincts but I want to go on record that I have been saying this since the primaries, 3 years ago. I saw it, and openly expressed why he was doing what he was doing when no one else caught on. So yeah, I want street cred on this
The beauty of it all, and I mean the exquisite panorama is that Trump has been able to convince the entire republican base that he's a conservative traditional republican, all the while actually being a traditional liberal democrat, on policy, issues, and actions! The only none traditionally democrat thing he's done is put true constitutionalists on the Supreme court, (well sorta) everything else, democrats supported with wide margins even a s little as 12 - 14 years ago.
It's absolute magic!
