On Trump

[GO-NAD!]

About as bad as "
Trump picks Kristi Noem to serve as his Homeland Security secretary "

Better hide your dogs...

If this is the reason they voted for Trump, I would suggest that they expand the list of criteria on which they base their voting preferences.

Actually, there is a more likely reason for electing him:

Misinformation Decided the US Election | by J. Bradford DeLong - Project Syndicate

J. Bradford DeLong asks why Donald Trump’s supporters overwhelmingly held a distorted view of the country’s situation.

My statement was a bit tongue in cheek.

Anyway many in this group are sounding a bit like an echo chamber of all the reasons America voted for Trump parroting the the recycled tropes of why America actually voted against Kamala.

Trump made a bunch of crazy campaign promises and unlike other candidates it appears he’s actually going to follow through on them. Rather than throw mud at individuals (I’m not speaking to you directly) the conversation should pivot to those policies not individuals. I think everyone is tired of distraction politics and it’s time to focus on issues and policies.

But if you're appointing people into positions without experience it's difficult to call it distraction. Or if your intent is to escalate it doesn't seem to me you can say 'lets just focus on the issues'. I would not exactly describe Republicans and the WWW as issues-oriented.

Edit: it doesn't really work in the Trump era IMO. If you said it during the Bush's or Reagan's era, people that behave relatively normal, than I think you can make the case on distraction. Because they would have to make up more stuff since there's nothing in their behavior that can really be used against them.

This has got to be the most inept and strangest cabinet that has ever been put together.

There's even a word for it: kakistocracy

I get it.

There are some entrenched stances, certainly.

I get it, but it can be difficult to separate individuals from their policies - especially when some of these policies are so radical.
