Trump's 'Zone Flooding' Strategy | Anchor Watch with Bobby Jones

Steve Bannon, everyone’s favorite sentient pimple, has famously said that one of the core MAGA strategies is to flood the zone with shit. Everyone reading this knows basically what this means: Push out as many absurd executive orders, institute dozens of proclamations, make every statement either incoherent, cruel, or incoherently cruel — and never once reflect on any of it. Just. Keep. Going. Do all the things all the time and never stop to admire the evil you’ve wrought.

We’re all living in the zone and it is, indeed, flooded with shit.

But the way Bannon frames it belies its seriousness. The foundations of flooding the zone with shit can be found in the military strategy of saturation, which Steve Bannon, who graduated from the prestigious U.S. Naval War College in Rhode Island, would know everything about.

A saturation attack, at its core, is a strategy of throwing everything you’ve got at the enemy to overwhelm their defenses. It’s a swarm. The enemy simply can’t respond to everything.

"This whole thing that you're seeing is by design. He wants you … to feel overwhelmed, stressed out, so there's really no resistance to what they want to do.”

Bobby Jones also graduated from the U.S. Naval War College and understands how essential it is to view saturation as a military strategy, and not just as a media-borne psyop. If you can frame this as an attack, then you can start to create a practical strategy for defense and counterattack.

But maybe we’re burying the lede: WE HAVE A NEW SHOW!

Anchor Watch with Bobby Jones is all about keeping an eye on things while you’re busy at work, and then reporting back every Tuesday at noon. Bobby sees the world through the eyes of a master tactician. He’s a deep well of knowledge surrounding strategy, the military, veterans’ issues, and — to put it mildly — he knows how things work.

But his real superpower is his ability to cut through complexity with his storytelling, and his willingness to call bullshit each and every time he sees it.

We are so excited to host Bobby Jones on Lincoln Square. He’s a singular messenger, and we could all use his mind for strategy. If you haven’t already, you really need to check out his Substack, NavShad.

He’s also the President of Veterans for Responsible Leadership, an incredible organization founded and administered by volunteer U.S. military veterans that supports local, state, and federal candidates committed to principled leadership.

And if you want even more of Bobby — I know we do — you can listen to him and Dan Barkhuff on The Gedunk Show Podcast.
