I'd say fight the progressives using everything at your disposal. That's what you do when attacked under a witch hunt, and nobody has more power than you.
I'd explain his policies are ROCK SOLID, and it's refreshing to see someone with the bronze to carry it out.
I'd say it's refreshing to hear blunt honesty. If the liberals can't handle the truth they're of no value to begin with. They're simply a detriment living under false narratives and are either foolish and/or have bad intentions.
I'd say watch your mouth. Sometimes he says shit that's out-of-line that has no place in the White House.
I agree
TheDude he should watch his mouth and listen to his wisest spiritual counselors when they advise him
to stick to what is universally true, wise, uplifting and beneficial to all.
As for "fighting the progressives" I'd say the best way to cut through the obstructionist tactics and negative bullying
is to find points and principles of agreement, and build teams and coalitions around that across party lines.
Sean Hannity said on the air, when explaining he identifies not as Republican but Conservative,
that he has been preaching the solutions to health care is HEATH CARE CO-OPS --
Well, guess what the Green and Socialist Democrats believe in -- worker owned business co-ops
and health care co-ops.
The only thing preventing these people from collaborating on the same plans
is the partisan fight for power, where CAREER politicians on both left and right
are too busy bashing and bullying each other for political points.
I'd tell Trump it is a mistake to either push a policy to such an extreme it violates the beliefs of others,
or to COMPROMISE out of fear of alienating and losing voter support, so that opposite evil occurs.
The effective approach is to find where parties AGREE on a solution so NOBODY compromises!
So the one point I would take issue with is that it has to be a fight against sides.
The fight is like getting all people pushing on the same side of the car to get it
out of the ditch and back onto the road, so we can jumpstart the engine and get it going.
Fighting and blaming the other side for pushing in the wrong direction
gets both sides deadlocked while the car is stuck in between. The
efforts and resources wasted on both sides cancel each other out.
If we agree what direction and what path to take to get where we all want to be,
then we can QUIT fighting and start working on each part that all the parties can play.
Getting people to find and focus on common "win-win" solutions
is 98% of the battle. the other 98% is following up on the plans
that will take several generations to bring to fruition. We need to start planning now.
And put together such solid, sustainable plans that regardless which parties are
in office for the next 50-100 years, we agree to keep moving forward on the
same plans and perfecting them as we go; but not passing BS political ploys
just to give appearances for points, only to have those contested and repealed later.
Why not start with a road map we agree has been troubleshot and conflicts removed?
Why not work together to eliminate points of objection, and/or to separate on beliefs
or creeds where people and parties aren't going to budge? Why not accept those
differences and build the plans around them, and/or separate funding where parties
don't agree to fund the same plans?
The only fight and competition should be friendly: competing to create the most
cost-effective consensual solutions, and fighting against the fear that we can't
ever agree and work together. You'd be surprised. Sometimes it's the few points
we actually agree on that build the foundation for the most stable sensible solutions.
The health care cooperatives is one example.
If we can agree to create adequate medical school and service sites to
meet the demands of the public in each district, city and county; that would
solve not only the immigration conflicts by creating enough jobs for people
seeking work, but could be applied to govt reforms renovating public
institutions from VA and public houses and schools to prisons and other detention centers.
Turning prisons and mental health wards into functional medical schools and clinics
would be something the most liberal progressives, socialists, communists and even
anarchists would support as long as the ownership is localized to empower the community.
The biggest fight is overcoming the fear of change and conflict.
People are so used to having to bully to get their way,
they aren't used to the idea of working together on goals shared in common.
The change in perception this calls for
can't happen in an environment where people
only want to egg on more fighting to dominate each other.
I think Trump's ministerial counsel could guide him in the
right direction, and he just needs to listen to the right
people to see how the right ideas align with different groups.
We are not each other's enemies, but fear dividing us is
what is eating our lunch and wasting resources
until we learn to work smarter by aligning our plans.
