Damn...OP missed one.

I'd also add the "Wake me up when something happens. Until then, it isn't worth discussing."

____ does it too is part of #2, minimization.

“Wake me up when something happens” is part of #1, denial

I wish conservatives would do more of 6.

It's what the powers-that-be are most afraid of. All of their power is on paper. All of our power is in powder. We know it and they know it, yet we still play their paper games.

Same with "Nothing is going to happen." They're related, but subtle differences.

They are way past your informative list. They just need to control the State Run media; and use dominion & all the new undocumented democrats to take TX and all the other States they are working on by dumping illegals.

The problem with the powder game is that if you lose, you die. You can only win the powder game with overwhelming numbers. There is no game riskier than the powder game. In fact, playing the powder game often destroys everything you play the powder game to preserve.

I fully believe that the taunting phase is not meant to cajole compliance or to discourage dissent, but rather to inflame it. The taunting phase is all about getting people emotional and baiting them into making mistakes that can be used as examples to discredit all opposition. They’re begging you to play the powder game, so they can treat you like the evil criminal they want to make you out to be.

Much like in schools with zero tolerance fighting policies: the bully isn’t looking to beat you up right off the bat. If they can bait you into throwing the first punch, they look like the good guy, and you get punished. Worst case scenario, you both get punished, but that punishment means a lot more to you than it does to them. You lose your scholarship. They go home and play video games.

I completely agree with you. Honestly, they're pretty transparent for the most part.

Applying the powder game doesn't mean you ignite it. Just showing it is usually enough. More people should band together and open carry. We saw BLM in antifa do pretty much this for almost an entire year. People take you a lot more seriously then when you send whiny emails to your rep. It's either that or conservatives will have to start quitting their lucrative and meaningful jobs and start infiltrating Academia and politics. Especially at the local level. Even bothersome shite like School Board member.

This is awesome! A great example of the ways Trump was able to manipulate such a large portion of the country.
