Guerrilla Politics
By Don Griffin
At the national level, bipartisan civility has given way to guerrilla politics. The protracted divide among elected officials has caused the memory of cooperation for the common good of America to slip quietly into the shadows. Taking its place is an electorate directed by an extreme polarization in party leadership. The goal of the left is the retention and achievement of more political power while the right strives to keep the campaign promises made by Donald Trump. The political process has stalled, maybe fully fractured, and the message being received by voters is “the citizenry be damned.â€
President Trump promised to ‘Make America Great Again’ and has delivered on that promise, much to the dismay of the Democrats. His achievements have essentially eliminated the ability of the left to cast a worthwhile platform for the 2020 election. Even those voters supporting the left who are only casually familiar with the political landscape know that the outrageous promises by the cast of presidential hopefuls cannot possibly be funded. Dangling “free stuff,†a widely used tactic of the Obama administration, is quickly losing its luster. In its place the Democratic strategists have created a new approach by combining two playbooks – Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals and the 6th-century B.C. book by Chinese general Sun Tzu, The Art of War. What has evolved with this combination is a form of guerrilla politics never before seen in our country’s political history.
