Trump is a fire (self.FediRanPrieur)

I tend to agree with Ran in his “Trump is a fire” analogy. But I’d like to extend the analogy and see where it goes.

I spent some years of my youth as a wildland firefighter. There, I was taught about the “fire triangle.” Fire needs three things to sustain itself: (i) fuel, (ii) heat, and (iii) oxygen.

Ran says “And I don't want to make any specific predictions about how far it's going to burn, because I don't have a clear sense of how burnable the world is.”

By analogously analyzing the fire triangle factors, I think we can begin to take apart the world that continues to provide heat, fuel, and oxygen for MAGAs.

Thoughts?
