Strategy:
Use a wedge issue on which public opinion is against the GOP to provoke the far left into attacking:
Men (50% of voters);
Christians in general (female Christians another 20%);
People who live in certain states (lots more voters).
Divide. Win.

Take an issue on which you only have the support of a minority of voters and provoke your opponents into talking about it in such a divisive and offensive way that you can turn your minority into a majority.
If the other side is sufficiently stupid that strategy works every time.
If you need backup bring in Putin to stir the pot even more.
The more emotional and the less rational people get the better for him.
Just watching how emotional people get about social issues on Twitter, Putin could easily romp again playing all sides in 2020. We will lose our democracy if we don’t find a way to get him off of social media.
