Your points are compelling, I don't discredit what you are saying.
1. What did he think would happen? Conjecture.... My thoughts are that he thought he would start a fire. Desperate times, desperate measures.
2. If you are opposed to the president, what BETTER way to expose the puppet's futility and corruption.
3. I don't disagree that if he was in little mermaid he would be Flounder for sure... but it was more the audacity that is striking and notable...
If I can redirect, it's the numbness to the outrageous messages bolstered in society, and the outrage to those whose message echoes relevance - that needs to change.
