In reply to the discussion: Trump and his entire crew are intentionally wrecking the government [View all]Saviolo
(3,321 posts)12. One correction:
Establishment GOPrs wont stop him either, even after its too late. Theyre literally sitting on their hands and allowing him to do this because theyre weak and cowardly. Ryan and McConnell both know that Trump cant salvage their agenda, but theyre refusing to act anyway.
They're cheering him on. They've been dying for the gov't to fail to prove that big gov't is BAD BAD BAD! for years and years, now. That whole gov't that can be drowned in a bathtub thing, remember? It's practically Paul Ryan's wet dream. They've put all of the most incompetent and ill-suited people into critical roles just to prove that those roles are prone to failure. The corporations want less gov't so that there will be less regulation so that they can frack and pollute and plunder and loot as much as they like with no oversight. Give them a bunch of optional self-policed guidelines and they'll happily sign off on all of them, then completely ignore them the second there is no one watching.

Not just the government. They are building the conditions for war against Korea and Iran.

Sadly I think we lost this fight back when no one was prosecuted for the Iraq war.

Don't be fooled by this talk of "big" government and "smaller" government.
