It absolutely is a strategy. It's as American of a strategy as there is.
Look at other countries and their sports leagues. They love their Manchester Uniteds, PSGs, Barcelonas etc. Nearly every foreign sports league is a race for second place because one team dominates everyone. They have a heavy advantage of finances because they all love to root for winners. They don't care how unfair the contest actually is. Plastic, fairweather fans.
On the otherhand in America, the greatest American sports team of all time is considered the 1980 US Olympic Men's Hockey team. Absolute underdogs. Amateurs from the US who aren't even good enough to go pro at our fourth most popular sport beating a Russian team full of pro players. We even made an award winning movie about it. And look at Rudy, considered by many to be the best sports movie ever made, and it was about a fat kid who walked on at Notre Dame, worked his ass off and played one snap. A whole movie about a five second play. And it's beloved because he is portrayed as the ultimate underdog. The British aren't making a movie about Leicester City winning the title. Hell, their media scoffs at it as if it were a fluke because they can't stand the thought of one of the traditionally top teams floundering for even a moment.
The point being: there is something carved deep into American culture and DNA and that's rooting for an underdog. A bunch of farmers cobbled together an Army and through grit and the philosophy that it is better to be dead than to not be free, fought off the greatest empire the world had ever seen. Those dudes put it all on the line against all odds and won. The greatest underdog story ever.
The British created James Bond. A series of movies about the greatest spy who ever lived. We created Rocky, a tale about an old boxer past his prime who gets a shot at the title...and loses. And was Rocky banging chicks like Pussy Galore without even trying? Hell no. He was trying to get an autistic chick at a pet store to give him the time of day who couldn't stand him, but eventually gave him a shot after seeing how determined he is.
That's the difference. Americans love an underdog. We love rooting for someone who has all the odds against them. And we fucking HATE unfairness. Hell, I know people who can't stand Trump but will vote for him out of spite because of the way the media treats him.
That's why you see a bunch of foreigners on reddit who can't understand why anyone would support Trump. They can't figure it out because their brains aren't wired the way ours are.
The story of America is tale about people who've been told over and over again that they can't do something, so they work hard as hell to make it happen and shove it right back up everyone's ass. That IS the American story. It's the story of the revolution and our founding. It's the story of the Wright Brothers, Henry Ford, the Apollo missions and the Battle of the Bulge. It's the story of Rudy, Rocky, Jessie Owens and the 1980 US Men's Olympic Hockey Team. It's the story of Trump's 2020 Presidential campaign.

Trump knows all of this and yes, he is exploiting it.
It absolutely is a strategy. It's as American of a strategy as there is.
Look at other countries and their sports leagues. They love their Manchester Uniteds, PSGs, Barcelonas etc. Nearly every foreign sports league is a race for second place because one team dominates everyone. They have a heavy advantage of finances because they all love to root for winners. They don't care how unfair the contest actually is. Plastic, fairweather fans.
On the otherhand in America, the greatest American sports team of all time is considered the 1980 US Olympic Men's Hockey team. Absolute underdogs. Amateurs from the US who aren't even good enough to go pro at our fourth most popular sport beating a Russian team full of pro players. We even made an award winning movie about it. And look at Rudy, considered by many to be the best sports movie ever made. And it was about a fat kid who walked on at Notre Dame, worked his ass off and played one snap. A whole movie about a five second play. And it's beloved because he is portrayed as the ultimate underdog. The British aren't making a movie about Leicester City winning the title. Hell, their media scoffs at it as if it were a fluke.
The point being: there is something carved deep into American culture and DNA and that's rooting for an underdog. A bunch of farmers cobbled together an Army and through grit and the philosophy that it is better to be dead than to not be free, fought off the greatest empire the world had ever seen. Those dudes put it all on the line against all odds and won. The greatest underdog story ever.
The British created James Bond. A series of movies about the greatest spy ever. We creatrd Rocky, a tale about an old boxer past his prime who gets a shot at the title...and loses. And was Rocky banging chicks like Pussy Galore without even trying? Hell no. He was trying to get an autistic chick at a pet store to give him the time of day and she couldn't stand him, but eventually gave him a shot after seeing how determined he is.
That's the difference. Americans love an underdog. We love rooting for someone who has all the odds against them. And we fucking HATE unfairness. Hell, I know people who can't stand Trump but will vote for him out of spite because of the way the media treats him.
That's why you see a bunch of foreigners on reddit who can't understand why anyone would support Trump. They can't figure it out because their brains aren't wired the way ours are.
The story of America is tale about people who've been told over and over again that they can't do something and they work their ass off to do it so they can shove it right back up everyone's ass. That IS the American story. That's the story of our founding. That's the story of the Wright Brothers, Henry Ford, the Apollo missions and the Battle of the Bulge. It's the story of Rudy, Rocky, Jessie Owens and the 1980 US Men's Olympic Hockey Team. It's the story of Trumps 2020 Presidential canpaign.
