maybe so. I suspect putting out fires is going to take a lot of his time unless he can burn down Washington (not impossible, scary)

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.

Beyond the battle for this-or-that policy, there is a battle for "is this a legitimate system or not". Fires serve the autocrat.
