It's not just incompetent presidents, it's incompetent politicians at every level.


That's not a bug, it's a feature.

Politicians like MTG and Boebert are part of the system just to cheapen it. The crazier they are, the more off-tilt they are, the better the strategy works, the more it weakens the average Americans faith in the system. This strategy started with Trump, but it's started permeating every level of politics. The more wild they act, the more they can insist that the other side is being just as crazy.


It started with Reagan. People just didn't realize that it was the boiling frog scenario. It won't end with MTG and Boebert.
