Malicious Obedience

from the Urban Dictionary

The Modus Operandi adopted by those who work for people convinced of their own infallible decision-making prowess, where one gleefully does what they’re told, even though they know it’s misguided, and waiting for the moment when it all blows up in their supervisor’s face. The precursor to schadenfreude. Term introduced on the Handyman for the Common Man web-only TV show.

The one way that Republicans can compromise is to give the Democrats the bad shit that they want in exchange for some good shit that the Republicans should want.

The Republicans  should agree to taxes on the rich if it hurts Democrats more.  They could raise the minimum wage, since it will probably hurt one of their constituencies more.

What in exchange for these?  No deal on immigration.  A border fence.    Cut medicare and medicaid.

Those ideas could be useful for discussion.  But make the Dems pay for their higher taxes.  Make em pay a high price.
