I wanted to start a sort of discussion post on here to see if other pedes share my opinion on this matter of an Oval Office Address in this time of (manufactured) crisis.
The sum of my opinion to start the discussion is this: Federalism has been the going rule for both the WuFlu and Race War crises, and I think that this is an excellent strategy both constitutionally and electorally for President Trump. However, in order to take advantage of the political momentum stored in the very fact that Democrat-led areas have gone to shit, I think that a Presidential Address from the Oval Office is in order.
The contents of such an address might re-explain the federalist strategy allowing states and cities to protect or destroy themselves, make clear the President's and his administration's position on all matters relevant to the current challenges, and (if we are lucky) include the name-by-name reading of a list of bad-acting or inept local and state representatives with a description of the carnage each elected leader has caused through their policies.
I would REALLY appreciate to hear all of your opinions on this matter. My argument boils down to the idea that we should wait no longer to make clear to the American people that local and state leaders cannot blame Blumpf for all their problems. Should the President make such an address, and if so, what would you like to see within this address?
I’ve been saying this from the start. They’ve started using video clips at Press Conferences to call out the Fake News but they need to do the same to highlight Dem Shithole cities and policies. I guarantee there are a lot of Dems living in those cities that are sick and tired of the rampant crime, homelessness, filth, graft, shitty schools, rising taxes and cost of living while the living standard continues to fall.
We just might be able to flip some blue states red with this strategy.
Exactly. I think people in those areas see the destruction, and they see the federal government. But they don't see how much their local choices affect their outcomes. Pushing federalist strategy is only effective so long as the people draw the connection between their safety and their local policies.
