I don't think Trump thinks in terms of "political capital" that is "spent". He's playing demagogue, not policy maker.

The real world DOES work that way, though, more often than not. This is an extremely common pattern in history.

I think that's necessary as well! But it's also the obvious move, and the one that this strategy always wins against. So I despair.

why put out the fires when he can just keep blaming them on sabotage from liberal elites, justifying further authoritarianism?

at the end of the day the government runs in a particular way -- he might be able to burn it down, but if not, trouble for him.
