This dude knows what’s going on.
And this from TPM:
In the late 19th and early 20th century, German military strategy, influenced by the work of the historian Hans Delbrück, became obsessed with the distinction between Ermattungsstrategie (exhausting strategy or more loosely attrition strategy) and Niederwerfungsstrategie (knockout strategy). This distinction played itself out in history with the German military repeatedly trying to win knock-out wars (famously in the blitzkriegs of World War II) but finding itself bogged down in wars of attrition (in the trench warfare of the Great War and the slaughter-house of the Eastern Front in World War II)…
This distinction can be useful in political analysis (in fact the attrition/knockout dichotomy shaped the politics of socialist thinkers like Karl Kautsky and Antonio Gramsci). Since Trump’s rise to political prominence in 2015, his opponents of all stripes have hoped for some knockout blow that will finish him off: a gaffe, a scandal, a defection, a revolt from within the GOP.
But as should be clear by know, we’re not in a quick knockout war but a long, drawn out war of attrition. Trump won’t be going away anytime soon and it is vain to hope for a law enforcement solution to what is a political problem.
The correct strategy is to fight Trump on all sides and at all times. That’s why accommodationist like Chris Coons and Lisa Blunt Rochester are not merely neutral, they are complicit.
ED by ED, street by street, house by house. All Republicans and all collaborating Democrats need to be removed from office at every level of government.
