will we see dems calling for small time, incremental change after the massive wave of poo poo changes trump pushes on us? or will they abandon that bullshit and try to fix things asap?

or, will incrementalism prove to be real and will trump be unable to do anything because in america change is slow and incremental.

imo, if perez is in charge we can definitely look forward to dems claiming we can't repeal the muslim registry without 4 years of debate and negotiation

After the inevitable depression that will hit, incrementalism may cease being politically attractive as a platform.

You need a Hoover of Hooverville fame before you get an FDR.

Trump of eventual Trumptown fame is our Herbert Hoover.

and the scotus, and a majority of state governorships, and a majority of state legislatures, and i would imagine local city councils and such though i didnt look them up

democrats have a fantasy they will recover because of declining white birthrates but 30% of asians and hispanics voted for trump :/

Incrementalism was always a lie, op, that served to cover up massive changes in the wealth divide in the country by pretending the rich had the same pace of change as the people crawling towards equal rights on marriage and so on.

Well, hope that helps!

Its doing the absolute minimum possible so you can say you did something while making life ten times better for your banker buddies behind the scenes because thats what you really cared about.

order of operations

so
a = b++;
sets a = b, then increments b by 1

a = ++b;
increments b by 1, then sets a = b

Incrementalism is OK when you're using small changes as a clear and deliberate strategy used to work towards some larger ultimate goal. The problem is a lot of advocates of incrementalism are just centrists who think that only small changes are required in the first place.
