    It might not be a bad strategy. Trump is famously undisciplined and his lackeys are treacherous. The best chance for survival might very well be to sit back and let them fuck up. Last time around he didnt manage to build the wall or repeal the ACA, not because activists stopped him, but because his own allies couldn’t stop tripping over their own feet. Without someone like McConnell to hand him finished packages to rubber stamp, he could go four more years spinning in circles without implementing much of anything.

    And peaceful protest is a nonstarter. Hes itching to have people killed, and giving him four years to sift through the general staff to find officers willing to do it will make things much worse in 2028.

        If he manages to implement absolutely none of his policy goals, it is plausible that the economy coasts along and does not fall off a cliff. But still that leaves everyone in the same spot. Hell be sitting there in 2028 having accomplished none of his stated policy goals after 8 years in office. His chances of getting off his ass and completing any of his talking points would not be improved.
