Trump was elected with a mandate to destroy the government, and that's what the Republicans are [finally] doing. Anybody who voted for Trump 2024 expecting something other than anarcho-capitalism and destruction of what we consider the USA was deluding themselves - the detailed agenda was telegraphed well ahead of time. Two decades ago, having just digested the Cypherpunk's Manifesto, I might have been sanguine, or at least tepidly eager. Older me is horrified - I don't see the same anarcho-capitalism conquering China any time soon, and yet our "taxes" have even gone up for this new revenue stream based around shaking down international trade.
