His literal strategy, and it's working, is to lie with such frequency it overwhelms any attempt to deal with them and makes everyone who tries look incompetent. A very accurate cartoon.

I love that the return address says "Trump Supporters" indicating a false flag (because a real bomber wouldn't identify themselves on the envelope)

But the actual bombs had Debbie Wasserman-Schultz as the return address, indicating a false flag because of course the real bomber would identify themselves on the envelope.

Yeah it is technically a "strategy" but it's not an intentional one. It's more of a feedback loop he's experienced his whole life. It's a learned behaviour rather than a deliberate choice he's made.

Yeah this is why all the "false flag" poo poo is so disingenuous. I mean aside from it being stupid bullshit it's clearly what they WANTED to happen - why wouldn't they think it was one of their own people?

(I mean obviously the answer is they know full well it was them but they know it looks bad to be the only side actually trying to murder their enemies when they keep claiming it's the liberals who are the dangerous violent mob)
It's such a lazy, transparent mentality that requires heavy lying to either anyone who listens or, in generous cases, to one's self. Trump's supporters think this is good but don't think anyone could do it, even though they, themselves, admittedly agree with it. They'll cop to wanting to literally, actually commit murder, but when someone does they all go "literally no one who thinks like me could possibly have taken that single extra step".

Trump Goes After the Guys Who Become Girls In Order to Sue for Sex Discrimination

When the Trump Administration announced that it was considering defining "transgender" out of existence in Title IX of the Education portion of the federal Civil Rights Act, I decided to dig deeper into the practical effect of the proposed change. What was the problem exactly, that the Trumpies wanted to solve? The possibility that male-to-female transgender people could claim gender discrimination? Apparently so. Hard to imagine anyone would seriously think people would change their gender on some sort of lark.

This Rall means well, and I don't mean to overly criticize a cartoon that has its heart in the right place. But reading this and other transgender-focused cartoons always makes me feel bad for transmen. They never exist in any of these cartoons. It's always only ever just transwomen.

The only other thing you ever get sometimes is acknowledgment from more LGBT-aware cartoonists that NB is a thing. But transmen? Never.

The only other thing you ever get sometimes is acknowledgment from more LGBT-aware cartoonists that NB is a thing. But transmen? Never.

Conservatives care more about trans women than trans men for the same reason they care more about gay dudes than lesbians: they see it as society Trying To Turn Them Gay (Get Out Of My Head, Gay Thoughts!)

You could make an argument that what they think of as "women trying to be men" doesn't seem as bad to them because who WOULDN'T want to be a man amirite, but I'm pretty sure it's primarily the gay-panic thing

As a result of this, trans women are also the subject of more pro-trans cartoons, because they're closer to the center of the argument

e: for the record I'm not trying to make the "every homophobe is a closeted gay" argument, I'm saying they're very insecure about their sexuality and their masculinity

Of course! Because the way this whole thing has been framed, you'd EXPECT the bomber to have a van covered in Trump stickers! They're trying to portray anyone with Trump stickers on their car, and that could be you, folks, as an insane maniac! It's a total set up! This guy looked at a Bernie Sanders Facebook page once, so he's as liberal and progressive as they come!

Just read that last paragraph in a Rush Limbaugh voice and it's spoilers for his next week or so of programming.
