The strategy is to attempt to force demagogues to actually care about representing the needs of their constituents.

Source: this one guy running for president that basically has “not Trump” and “I don’t listen to my constituents because they’re not really my constituents” as his platform for two straight elections in a row.

So basically "If you don't stop your shit I will drive this goddamn car off a cliff. Do not test me." kinda business?

(The above is meant to be a light hearted, jokish way to say what I'm trying to say)

That’s exactly how I’d characterize it. IMO, it was that way for the DNC in 2016 too.

Being light-hearted is my way of smiling through the pain. So, it’s a perfect description, in my opinion. 🙏🏼

Fun stuff... lol. Thanks for the replies!
