      Meanwhile, Biden will boast about his surgical strikes that cripple Chinese semiconductor industry, how he did so much better than Trump, and will use his “tough on China” card in an attempt to court Republican voters.

      Why bother? Biden won't get credit from Republicans for increasing deportations, the wall, astronomical cop funding, hurting China, etc. That's definitely his plan, but I don't see how his approval rating benefits

        does that matter? like, i think they'll just do what they always do (move right, chasing the imaginary undecided moderate fascist) and then let the chips fall where they will.

        if they win, good. if they lose, good.

        as long as they can prevent even the slightest left-leaning policy or talking point from emerging, they win.
