This can no longer be considered bad political instincts, this is political capture. The Democrats are intentionally helping Trump at this point, they have either capitulated to their billionaire handlers, or (and this is a longshot) are intending to allow the GOP to implement their policy in the hopes that it breaks the Republican party.
Politicians are just people and can only be understood via the realization that all of us have been infected by the disease of self hate. That realization opens up the understanding that human psychology contains a paradox.
The applicable example here is that liberals are conflicted by the desire to create a better world to escape the misery self hate creates all the while unconscious they will in the darkness of the ignorance of their real inner condition, the feelings of worthlessness created by being put down as children, sabotage any real progress because they are convinced at that deeper level we do not deserve it.
We live in a world of walking talking self hating machines devoted to ending their pain via self extinction. The creator is seen in his and her creation. The world that you hate and despise is yourself.
There will be no solutions without the realization that the solutions we creat are there to end the existence of all things.
When you look at Trump you see the titanic phony who is just far more honest in intention than most. You think life would be better without him and he thinks it would be better without you.
Time to go back to sleep.
