By the way,
Are the American people too stupid to understand reality? We'll have to wait and see! But maybe the resurgence of measles and its needless deaths, which RFK is enabling right now, will light up a brain or two.
God knows, it's not only Republicans who are stupid. Democrats and Progressives and the various factions have all been too stupid for decades to go back and understand just who the American people really were! And what is commonly called stupidity - human limitations - remains a truly universal fact, although we all judge it from personal and distinct poles, based on whatever viewpoint (or fashion) we hold dear.
To return to measles:
"This miserable and dangerous disease has already claimed the lives of two people – the first American measles deaths in nearly a decade. But despite the existence of a vaccine so effective that measles was once eliminated in the US, Kennedy has thrown his most enthusiastic support behind vitamins and cod liver oil – while also canceling scientific meetings of vaccine advisers."

There may be some salutary things that will in the end emerge from Trump's Bizarro-world federal regime. Perhaps the culling of some of the existing federal government's many unproductive or ill-conceived money-sinks will ultimately open space for a rebuilding of federal spending, a balanced budget, and perhaps better agreement about just what the nation needs. But at this point that's only the vaguest of hopes, and one posed against a de facto government of thugs, bullies, and flat-earthers.
