And the "whatever it takes" path includes (but is not limited to):

go-to-war

billions of dollars of corruptly & oligarch funded mid-term SuperPACs

mafia-like media and tech takeover

unending AI slop

unprecedented foreign active measures on his behalf

end free and fair elections


They are pulling out all the stops. And we've got to figure out how to up our game in defending and counter-attacking.

From Simon Rosenberg

In a democracy when a leader is unpopular, and their policies aren’t working, they course correct and do things are that popular and good for people. Trump looked at that option, and chose another - the go-to-war/billions of dollars of corruptly & oligarch funded mid-term SuperPACs/mafia-like media and tech takeover/unending AI slop/unprecedented foreign active measures on his behalf/end free and fair elections/the whatever it takes path.
