To decapitate the agencies and consolidate his control.
On a long enough timeline, California and New York (and a few other states) will become safe havens for moneyed liberals and Mississippi and Texas (among others) will become theocratic shitholes.
When we get that point, discussion of Civil War will get much more serious because two opposing policy perspectives can coexist in a democracy, but two entirely opposing cultures cannot.
So do I…because he hasn’t got a fucking clue what he is doing
John needs to step up and be the American Zelensky.
Trump has 4 years to destroy America, otherwise he ends up in prison for all his crimes.
Some billionaires are no longer happy with one man one vote.
This article is paywalled. Does anybody want to paraphrase what Jon Stewart said or link to the discussion?
We know. It aligns with white power christianity goals. We also know it is because he agrees with this stuff and above all else is a conman and putins patsy.
They are going to ruin the federal government and send everything back to the states. The irony of this is that it will probably be good for the blue states.. red states weigh blue states down because they take more than they pay in taxes ..
California, New York, Massachusetts, will probably do fine but Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, will probably be like third world countries ( more than they are now )
This has neither an insightful take nor (as indicated) a narrative missing from the media.
Anyone with a pulse knows why he’s picking these people.
I think we tend all collectively to overestimate Trump. He does most of what he does because he’s an idiot, not preparing some elaborate scheme.
Can we not do this for the next 4 years? Be shocked at all the horrible things trump is about to do. They voted for the horrible things. Being mad is what they want. They won fair and square, promising corruption and destruction and retaliation.
Stop trying to figure trump out, there is nothing to figure out. he tells everyone the horrible things. He’s not playing chess he’s just doing what ever the eff he wants, just like he always did.
He didn’t mention the grift factor. Trump doesn’t do anything that he or his shark cronies don’t get a taste of.
It goes beyond the obvious idea of choosing loyalists to do his bidding. It’s also a flex to show that he can do whatever he wants and his Senators will go along with it.
This is textbook geopolitics.
Trump is trying to decrease the legitimacy of the government so that he and his family / friends can be there to pick up the pieces once the system collapses.
Immigrant populations of the new emerging America are less tied to Democracy, because they’ve never had it and are used to corrupt governments
Immigrants who escaped El Salvador, Somalia, Cuba etc. come from places where the government isn’t legit or to be trusted.
But these immigrants grew up knowing they could succeed in a black market or by non-capitalist means and have less ties to “American Dream” and are more apathetic to seeing the government collapse.
So they don’t care as much if Trump is corrupt as long as they get cheaper goods and higher pay. Their exchange and agreement with government is more based on needs, not grandiose ideals.
Also Jon Stewart: “We’re going to be fine no matter who wins.”
Here we go,again, another 4 year shit show!
It’s so obvious. You throw a wrench into the machine, it breaks and then you blame the machine. His voters will see the dysfunction and agree. A few years later when there’s no basic federal funds or offices for the public they’ll finally wake up when it’s all too late. Then hopefully the left will finally take over. There’s no place for these anarchists in government. It’s like electing an atheist as the Pope. They don’t even believe in the thing they’re heading.
Jon Stewart, known for his insightful and often humorous political commentary, has shared his thoughts on why Donald Trump appointed controversial figures to his cabinet. Stewart has suggested that Trump selects “the worst people” for their willingness to challenge established norms, disrupt the status quo, and support his agenda without question. By choosing loyalists and figures who are often divisive, Trump could maintain a strong influence over his administration while appealing to a base that favors anti-establishment actions.
Stewart also pointed out that appointing unconventional or controversial individuals often keeps the media’s and public’s attention on his administration, aligning with Trump’s style of keeping the spotlight on himself and his policies. For Stewart, this approach reflects Trump’s prioritization of loyalty and ideological alignment over traditional qualifications, a strategy that often generates headlines and controversy.
Because he’s too stupid to be able to tell that they are the worst people?
No shit. In his first Presidency he made an anti-public school person head of public education and an oil man head of the EPA.
Kakistocracy. Plain and simple. The least qualified person will be placed at the head of each agency. The worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous candidate is chosen.
Why? Because it makes it very easy for them to tell their blind followers that the department is performing poorly, so the only option left is to get rid of it and try something new.
Dictators trap: trump surrounds himself with sycophants and yes men.
it’s the first step in privatizing public institutions. you know, “because government should be run like a business.”
We who are in the system knew there were changes needed. But this??? Augh. so I guess we will see what the dark ages were like….seriously
He is picking them because he can control them
Break the government and finish the fascist takeover.
It’s completely obvious, has been done before elsewhere.
2nd Amendment gun nuts just voted for the tyranny that they said their guns were needed for.
Privatization = call centers in India for 2 cents on the dollar. Basically selling our nation for other nations to rat fuck us in the end all to increase shareholder value
Because anyone with half a brain won’t get near this s***
show???
this Isn’t new to trump, he’s just the first Republican that is willing to walk the walk. It’s always been about breaking the government and then pointing to it to show it doesn’t work. Now they convinced their voters that it doesn’t work before they even got elected, so they just get to break everything and call it the will of the voters.
TL;DR: for you? They’re there to Balkanize the Union.
The left needs to launch an angry media station that blames everybody’s problems to the republicans. They don’t even have to be factual, just spread every rotten fact and rumor about the right wing politicians and get people angry about it. Making fun of trump has no effect or meaning anymore. The left needs tv and radio personalities screaming that he is ruining your life. Quit tiptoeing around fact checking because it doesn’t matter. Call him a Russian asset, call him an idiot. What matters is you want people foaming at the mouth mad at the republicans. Some people just want a target to be angry at, to get through their miserable lives.
If the left doesn’t do this, the same half of America that watch Fox News will continue to stupidly blame the left for everything. Some people here are naively hoping people will wake up and turn against trump when everything goes down,but it won’t happen. The right wing media got everything under control, they easily guide people’s hate to their designated direction and have people vote against their best interests. The republicans need to be cussed out, called out. People need to see who the traitors and enemies are.
It is so much worse than dismantling the government. It is opening the door for Trump and his billionaires to profit from it. Let’s cut NASA. Who comes in and profits from it? Space-X. Let’s destroy the department of education. Who profits? Schools with voucher system. Let’s destroy the FCC. Who profits? Elon, Ramaswamy, and a lot of other people. Everything Trump did in his first term was to make rich people richer. His second term will be an even more drastic version of that. And just like his first term, the American people will be footing the bill for the money grab.
I don’t think it’s a secret. He can literally say to his voters “I am here to destroy democracy and get rich and powerful, and I’m using your stupidity to do it,” and they would genuinely, unironically double down and worship him even harder. Humanity deserves whatever happens to it. Not all of us individually, but as a species, because jesus fuck we’re stupid.
Well, yeah, a lot of us do. It’s pretty obvious he’s trying to enrich his “friends” and sow disorder among those organizations.
