    is part of the plan so if they lose the next election, the opposition has to spend 4 years trying to fix everything while they get called out for wasting money?

      The plan seems to be to wreck everything and rule the rubble with an iron fist. I think that’s really all there is to the plan.

        If you can even call it a plan. I always chuckle at everyone trying to decipher the grand strategy behind the Trump chaos while it’s pretty obvious that it’s just absolute idiocy. No one is making any plans or thinks about actual outcomes. The utter ignorance is baffling, tbh.

          It’s dumber than that, imo. The goal is to hit a target fiscal quota (which they’ll never do), and Melon Husk thinks he’s smart enough to fix everything back up so it runs like a corporation (which will never work, because governments do much more than chase profits). And he can do it all while treating everything like a meme! /s

          So it’s somebody who thinks they have a plan, but really, he’s just an edgelord manchild demonstrating how completely inept he is over and over again.

        Also quite possible.

        Really weird and sad though. It’s a lot more fun to add a tiny bit to a vibrant society than to stomp on a rubble heap and throw tantrums

          It is for most people. For narcissists and sociopaths the calculation works differently.

      I think the idea is to prevent collection of climate data so they can pretend that temperatures haven’t risen.
