can realistically only be mobilized by government, which Republicans and conservatives are always busy reducing or hollowing out. I don't even think that we've ever seen such a hollowed out government as the one Trump is currently running. Certainly just about all Administrations have tried to trim and make government a little leaner and more efficient but nothing on the scale of what Trump has done with the current Federal Government, mostly as a result of not filling positions, people leaving because Trump is too difficult to work with and not replacing them, and the recent loyalty purges (which I certainly hope have at least been put on hold or halted indefinitely)
