People are really reaching. Bad governance didn't spring into existence the moment Trump stepped into the oval office. It's really very silly and doesn't lend itself to productive discourse. You end up oversimplifying problems for one thing or expanding them to such an immense size by linking it to every other political issue it basically negates the usefulness of any direct discussion on the topic. We may as well just make daily threads about things and people we hate, with people contributing new insights as to how terrible they are in a self supporting loop while any useful comments and threads fall through the cracks.
- conception 1y agoWho is in charge of the government departments changes how the government functions massively. There is a tremendous difference in support and effort depending on who has been appointed to run an agency. Just as one example, there is a difference between a nuclear physicist as the secretary of energy and a governor who has a lot of oil in his state. Certainly there are issues with the American government but this is yet again silly both sidesing something where clearly there is “not great” vs “purposeful appointments to actively ruin institutions “.
