    I have to say, the thought crossed my mind. But Dems could never pull it off.

    I would hope that’s because we won’t stand for it. All I could think reading one of the previous threads on this letter was “these people are just as dumb as MAGAs but in the other direction”.

      It’s no different than playing by the rules (or lack thereof) of the game like Bannon or Stone play in their strategizing with Trump: Perception is Reality. Ends Justify Means.

      Maybe not along this issue, but yes Democrats must realize just how poorly educated and gullible the electorate is and start catering their message accordingly. In spite of moral reservations, fear & anger are powerful motivators.

      Yes, Dems couldn’t pull it off because the coalition consists of a large number of ethically-bound and higher educated individuals who aren’t willing to play dirty as a means to an end… Even when that end is far superior than what the opposition seeks.
