Latest stupid news: The usual D team is suing the Ellison monsters for trying to merge Warner and Paramount. The Ellisons were fine when they wore the D team shirt. Now they’ve joined the R team so they’re not fine. This is a constant rule.
Why did the Ellisons put themselves into this position? They know how the game works, and they had been on top of the world until they switched shirts. The states where tech demons operate are pure D. If you wear the D shirt you will win everything. If you wear the R shirt you will lose everything. It’s an EXTREMELY SIMPLE GAME.
More complex question: Why do top-level people join Trump’s team, not just the R team? Can’t they see how a psychopath works?
A psychopath changes the rules all the time. You can’t be on a psychopath’s team. He will cheer and reward you for joining, then later he will kick you out and ruin the rest of your life.
I understand why ordinary people obey. We have to obey if we want to survive. But we don’t see the monster up close, and we’re not in a position to consider working for him. Top-level people like governors and billionaires live in Trump’s world. They’ve seen what happened to other top-level people for the last 40 years. What do they think they will gain?
Closely related question: Why do the D politicians continue to stake their entire careers on “resisting” Trump? This is even stupider. Opposing a constant party is stupid enough, but opposing a random force simply turns you into another psychopath. Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Trump would be dancing by himself if you weren’t hugging him and making the same moves in reverse.
If you want to be trusted you need to shape your agenda to the needs of your CUSTOMERS, and you need to SOLVE PROBLEMS. The needs of your CUSTOMERS are constant, no matter what Trump is doing at this microsecond.
