Kicking the Coke Machine

 

An interesting idea on Bongino's show today. He said that the Democrats were engaging in counter-productive behavior all in a reaction to Trump. He compares it to what happens when you put your money in a Coke machine, and the thing doesn't give you a Coke.

What happens after that is generally automatic, Bongino says. People will yell at the machine, or they will tip it over, or kick it. All of that in response to something that cannot respond back. It is counter-productive, Bongino explains.

So the Democrats are doing things that hurt their brand. Bongino connects it together with their frustrations with Trump. All previous GOP types just caved in when Democrats accused them of something. But Trump fought back. The Democrats are used to getting their way with GOP types, so when Trump didn't respond like their accustomed to, Dems acted like they didn't get their Coke.

It's all counter-productive for them, but they cannot "help themselves", or so goes the theory. Maybe there's something to that, but if you notice, they are not the only ones kicking the Coke machine.

Starting a third party isn't very productive, but it sure would feel good to kick that Coke machine. Maybe it is time to recognize that kicking the Coke machine won't get you your Coke. But I want one anyway, dammit.
