More on Trump for President

Following up on this post, Joe Corbett had some similar ideas in this FB post, reposted below in quotes. With this strategy we could vote our conscience. If we all did so, even in loss, it would be millions of votes FOR progressive values and incite the ongoing movement to defend them. This would set up a very active progressive resistance intent to change Congress in the mid-terms and have a real progressive Presidential candidate in 4 years. Otherwise, if we buy into the 'incremental change' BS, the status quo is maintained forever.

"ok, folks, here's the counter-intuitive logic in favor of voting for trump. if trump is president expect a united left against his every move, clarifying progressive values and demonstrating the bankruptcy of right-wing values. if clinton becomes president on the other hand expect a divided left, and further stealth moves toward the right with neoliberal policies that only a corporate democrat could get away with.  

"think about it. trump has already done a yuuge favor to america by moderating the republicans and making them see that hillary is actually a very good republican choice for them. even paul ryan has come out and apologized, for christ's sake, saying he was wrong for calling poor people lazy!! meanwhile, a trump presidency would get nowhere with a deeply resistant deep state to any aggressions he might want militarily. moreover, the bigoted douche-baggery he is known for can serve as a public platform for the collective therapy that is so badly needed if america is to get over its racist past and present, with the media for once in tow manufacturing consent around progressive multicultural ideals. what america needs, in short, is a little extreme and repugnant opposition to its core values to help clarify its own identity and unify the factions that corporate america has worked so hard to create since the backlash against the counterculture of the 60s."
