3) those skills are mutually exclusive

I mean, Trump himself hit 34% on J6. But the timing was akin to GWB’s dip at the start of the GFC. Both were soon out of office, so there were no consequences.

the 2020 RNC was held at the literal fucking White House so maybe we can treat Hatch Act concerns as the fig leaves they are for the foreseeable future

The counter-counterreaction will advance that narrative until the original reactionary forces ascend, for a bit, until The Final Battle. It's all laid out in Revelations.

Obama would've extended an olive branch to neocons with a Master & Commander. Maybe tried to appease the Blob with Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.
And he wouldn't have been wrong, but I'd have preferred Fincher finish the Millennium trilogy.

I get why men & lesbians don't have the cultural simpatico that gays & women have, but last year Clea DuVall directed this LGBT-ish Hallmark-y Xmas rom-com where Aubrey Plaza looks like this, and I think that should count for something.
