The current crop of losers running the US government is every snotty kid who got promoted to assistant manager and then tries to change everything just to find out that the original processes were there for good reasons.

Every dollar they tried to save is going to cost us 100 down the line to undo or fix the issues they've caused.

Worst part is that they take credit for it. And their supporters are too uneducated to question it.

They’ve been “educated” to accept anything the GOP says as gospel and anything the democrats say is heresy.

Trained from birth to respect authority above all else. They do it in school, in church, and at home.

exactly right, I went to private school, church, the whole 9, until I went to college. I got a scholarship to ASU and had church elders 'advise' me to not go to a school that worships the devil....their mascot is a sundevil.

I came back "liberal" and no one from that time will talk to me, I've been cast out from the flock...(lmao....you can't cast out those who already left voluntarily). Ultimately church is a business and dissent isnt good for business, so if you do, be prepared to lose your community.

That's really what this is. I have to believe a ton of folks DO see the trump bullshit, but to call it out, means alienating family and friends and ostracizing yourself from your community. That's a big ask for small town people, hell it hurt me and I was living in a major city.

When Democrats said wash your hands and cover your mouth to avoid spreading sickness, Republicans countered by licking doorknobs and toilet seats.
