The Joker's strategy

"Introduce A Little Anarchy, Upset The Established Order, And Everything Becomes Chaos". 

Trump and his GOP enablers have clearly taken a leaf from The Joker's book. If you throw enough mud at the wall some of it will drop into the gears and gum up the works. 

That's the strategy: file one trivial groundless suit after another until the system no longer functions. Then argue that since the system is stalled get the GOP controlled legislatures step in to "fix" the problem by appointing a slate of electors to the electoral college who will vote for Trump. 

That's how the will of the people is subverted; that's where we are today. It's cynical, unethical and dangerous. But it's how bad things have gotten.  

We are living in "interesting" times (supposedly, a Chinese curse).

"Better to be a dog in times of tranquility than a human in times of chaos" (an actual Chinese saying).
