you don't beat the harlem globetrotters by cheering louder for the washington generals. you beat the harlem globetrotters by replacing the washington generals with a real basketball team.

In no universe am I accepting this analogy 😂 I'm sorry. I know you mean well.
That klan party will not be represented by the blackest of American traditions, even in my imagination. Also, to your point below... the Globetrotters have always been actual real live hoopers, despite the show.
I guess you could also start calling traveling and personal fouls when they bring foreign objects on to the court but too late for that part of the analogy.
Gonna beat the globetrotters by capitulating the ball to them and hoping they mess up of of their silly tricks, so I can get the ball back and immediately capitulate it to them again
Another way to think about it (with dems as the Globetrotters); if the Harlem Globetrotters constantly lose to the Washington Generals for 8 years, it's time to change strategies and coaches.
... First you recognise it's not an actual game with anyone actually competing. It's a choreographed performance much like the totality of centrist politics in the United States today.
that ball spinning trick shot fancy dribbling bullshit wouldn't go very far against the 90s chicago bulls for example. try to bounce the ball off michael jordan's forehead i fuckin dare you
not the point but I remember someone explaining that the generals are mostly pretty good B-ballers, and just playing by the rules. They even win from time to time, the games are an improv act.
It if we try to play defense, then the Globetrotters might get mad at us! Doesn’t it make more sense to just do nothing until we talk to a focus group to see if making them mad won’t hurt us in three years?
