If Donald Trump shot someone in the Middle of Fifth Avenue, various new commentators would explain that it was a shrewd maneuver to gain the votes of ordinary Americans. After all, ordinary Americans are all murderers and think that laws against murder are elitist and inauthentic. Warnings would circulate to Democrats not to condemn the murder lest they play into Trump's hands. Handwringers would warn that, although Trump was wrong to shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue, Democrats were equally wrong to insist on making an issue of it.
