    This will be the main test of whether Trumpism rules or capital rules. The rich people love Republican tax cuts and deregulation, which was the main product of his first term (coincidentally everything the rich didn’t like failed), but going after cheap immigrant labor or taxing their foreign sweat shops is going to stir up some behind the scenes conflict. Voters are stupid (e.g., “did Biden drop out” searches), they’ll be surprised when the leopards eat their face, the rich people are well aware that the leopards are dangerous and hope that their leopard control devices can get them through unscathed with an even greater piece of the pie.

      Maybe they fight amongst themselves over it, wasting time and running down the clock?

      Maybe some people join conservative online forums and fan those flames?? Hobbling destruction is always good.
