One of the oldest and truest sayings in community organizing is: "The action is in the reaction." Yes, it was the founder of citizen organizing in the United States and perennial far-right piñata, Saul Alinsky, who said it.
Alinsky wasn’t advising a billionaire real estate developer who wants huge tax cuts for the wealthy. He was trying to equip the truly powerless -- workers in dangerous stockyards, tenants in dreadful tenements -- with a useful tool.
...In the current presidential campaign, one person intuitively understands Alinksy’s insight. Donald Trump showed again in the first debate that he’s intent on initiating action after action. His wild charges and outrageous statements have no content, no weight, no meaning. Their sole purpose is to provoke a reaction -- from Hillary Clinton, from the media, from the frustrated supporters of his opponent.
Trump is not just a demagogue, a Hitler, a friend of Israel and Putin (which is worse nowadays?), he's cultural appropriator!
