Ok. I’m just going to say it out loud.

Nearly ALL of the major policies Trump wanted to enact would have prevented nearly ALL of the crap we are dealing with now.

I still think he is an asshole. But he’s an asshole with some very good policy ideas. So there that is.

Still… why has the State and the Executive Branch become this powerful, barely resembling the Federated, minimalist Constitutional republic it was intended to be? now we have to deal with these power structures which are embedded like ticks on a deer hide..
