Hmmm...
This just does not make sense...
WHY...
Is the party that is loosing power...
Doing stupid stuff that is obviously NOT in public favor???
I wonder if there is not more to this...
Than we are seeing???
On one side, I want to say to never underestimate the stupidity of a true believer. I seem to recall when the GOP was out of power, they would also do/say the stupidest things to try to get any kind of attention as well from their base to wake them up. However, that said, I too sometimes have looked at this and wondered if there is more.
I've been wondering for a while if they are not attempting to invoke an incident of some kind, say a mob attack on a conservative that is *armed* and defends themselves, causing injury and death, and then attempt to invoke massive riot against .... something?. (Guns, conservatives?) Look at the protests they encourages against the Kavanaugh and the protests against free speech on college campuses. Had some those attacks occurred in the South instead of Gun control states, there could have been bodies in the street. They have already reduced the ability of the police to maintain control with all of the "unjustified killing" protests and riots last year against our police so they are reluctant to control people with force. (I've noticed that suddenly there is nothing in the news on police killings any more)
It's almost like they are trying to get the poor areas to riot and burn themselves out, so they can champion the government building them new housing, neighborhoods, or something.
Or perhaps they are really afraid of the reverse of their policies towards socialism that Trump represents that they just want a reason to call a revolution to destroy to the rebounding Republic before most of their march to socialism through the legal system is lost.
Their attempts to take the checks and balances of our system (the courts) and make them into law *making* or political bodies is esp worrisome, as if it happens, we may never recover the trust in the courts again.
I want to believe that it's more of the same, an out of power party attempting to grab headlines with crazy the way that Trump used the media during his campaign or the GOP attacked Obamacare during the debate on it.
However, sometimes I too wonder...
