I have nothing personal against Trump. Asshole is as asshole does. If I thought he was going to go in there and do the right thing, I'm game. I even like one idea that he had about using the money we spend giving aid to other countries to bolster our Social Security fund. But it's the bad stuff that I will resist.
whether you call it resist, or subvert, or sabotage, it is VITALLY important that directives and initiatives that Team Trump launches that are DOOMED to failure must be allowed to proceed unmolested. The only thing to worry about is that Democrats be totally and obviously absolved of any association with cooking up the scheme in the first place and then TT adopting it prior to its subsequent implosion.
And the converse:
It is ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE anything that might actually work, especially in regards to increasing labor participation rates in lower income demographics, anything impinging on improving neighborhood safety in inner cities, and ESPECIALLY anything that might serve to push up entry level job pay levels higher than minimum wage, like reducing the pool of workers at that level by more effective schooling, or heating up the economy, must be fought tooth and nail lest people get funny ideas like things are getting better.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
