When faced with domestic/personal political problems, an easy method to sideline & slowly solve them, is to start or escalate #war.
It shifts the public conversation, changes the legal & political environment /interests, eases expanded military action at home, & creates opportunities to reward & align with certain factions (oligarchs, corporations, #military leaders).
Here are my thoughts and analysis on the subject in the shape of a table.
What do you think?
Took me a while to make this :)
Please share if you think this makes sense!

Shouldn't Trump have crackdown on protests? He hates protesters, advocates "non lethal" actions against them, has killed several, and docs and intimidates others.
Also a good case that Trump has effectively changed the legal system. The justice department is full of loyalists who work for him, not the USA.
Saw a post few hours ago that apparently the feds are massively stocking up on ,,less lethal" chemical weapons... I guess that translates to tear gas etc. So the crackdown might be coming, maybe after he manipiulated the midterms and still lost.
