George Takei reduces what the media sees as Trump's Machiavellian 4-D Chess to something closer to rock paper scissors

He hopes to provoke a violent backlash so he can justify harsher measures. We will respond peacefully, but with unyielding determination.

1. You mean it's not about immigrants?

2. He forgot how many brown people he has working for him, but more importantly...

...how many MAGAts have brown people working for THEM.

He basically handed the keys to the car to Miller and said "YOU DRIVE," and now he's feeling the blowback.

He has to find a way to isolate brown liberals who don't work at his properties.

Miller just likes one item on the checklist: "brown."

3. He's no good at that, either

since he can bang the rock on the sheet a paper and put a holein it, he canuse the scissors to cut a groove into a soft rock, then throw it down and have the rock split, and that chunk of paper can cover up the scissors and make them go away.

The better anaolgy is the chess playing pigeon: it swoops in screeching, knocks over the pieces on the board, then struts around and shits all over everything before it flies away from any consequences it might have to deal with.

That's what we're up against and there's fuck all we can do about it right now. Well, except reminding him we exists, how many of us there are, and that he needs us a lot more than we need him.
