This whole thing is so soul crushing. I've always stayed informed to the point that I consider it a part of who I am. Now Trump and the Republicans control all branches of government, he's putting in literally the worst possible choices for cabinet positions, they're actively planning on some of the most abhorrently racist actions, and Trump is spinning up his grift machine. All of the checks and balances have been removed and replaced with loyalty assessments, and so we're sitting here with no reasonable way to avoid the disasters. My chest is constantly tight and I just don't think I can keep tuned into live coverage of the national disaster.
It's so weird to me you're talking about cabinet picks. I agree with you but it's like your absorbing the media narrative and spitting it back out for no one's benefit. The cabinet picks are weird but in 3 months you'll be talking about EOs then congressional disfunction and on and on. The cabinet picks will be far from your mind, until they start to rotate out. We've done this before. The media narrative will spin you in circles if you keep on like this.
No, that's bullshit. Maybe you just don't remember his first term. His picks then were the worst ever, but not nearly at this level. It was infuriating. You don't remember the harm Betsy Devos did to the department of education? It's the cabinet members who cause much of the destruction.
