Chaos.... the fertilizer for change.
The one thing with which Trump said to align with, was "eliminating the swamp."
He lied?
One would have to be an utterly mind-bent fool not to recognize that the "organized"
nature of their repeated manifestations is criminal.... and by definition that makes the
the entire lot of the "political machinery, their entrenched 'political game' bullshit is
an offense against the people they have the gall to claim they represent.
A major aspect of the theoretical "swamp draining" is that it had to be 'chaos.'
As the jello-like plan rises though the boggy mist, it becomes clearer...
Trump is not "just" draining the swamp... he is building a new media
Disneyland in D.C.
(I can find a million metaphors to emphasize this... but I'm not an activist
talking head, trying to persuade anyone of anything... I'm not a 'performer,'
trying to entertain... consider yourself reprieved.)
However... as most political history students have already seen, during chaos is the
exact moment you establish a "new" order... and "politics" demands it be "yours" (while
exercising the privilege of deciding instead to changing the beneficiaries of the abuse)...
“Problem solved!.. Hooray for our side! We're so awesome!”
It's now always the same problem, born of the immediate solution, repeated with each petty leader who wants to score a "win" and a party 'mandate of convenience' which calls for 'undoing' anything the enemy does.
Almost every minor disruption cause by "EOs" and "Policy changes" likely telegraphs intentional interference with ongoing schemes and plans of the prior regime.
And so, with each change of regime they continuously wage their very own... "little war"
(All serving 'The Party' by virtue signaling about dangerous, precarious, impossible times
they "foresee" repeatedly insisting a negative focus on any who offer dissent...)
Proclaiming they are "protecting the nation" (Meaning the nation of "their people.")
Everyone else is politically useless and in malignant opposition - (as they would be int the reverse circumstance...)
it's a "the party" thing... frat house mentality... queen bee syndrome...all wrapped up in the most entertaining reality show ever - literally - produced by "nobody.”
To score "the win," to hurt "our opponents," to rend their progress because "If it helps them... it hurts us."
It's more important to them that their opponents suffer damage...
than simply to win a popular vote...
“Show of hands, everybody who cares?...” is just too hard to contrive.
None of what they can actually be is for you, (or us) … it's for themselves...
always for themselves under the guise of “[insert institution.]”...
Institutions seem to manifest this way eventually...
(I think it has to do with (cloister) people... but like I said... I'm not a talking head.)
______________________________________________
Sorry to sound trite, and repetitive.... Much of this "swamp" only exits because the "journalists" upon whom we relied would rather be partisans, than analysts. Thus, we have been fed rank, outrageous, insulting reams of garbage as "news."
They almost (and thank goodness) indoctrinated us to rely solely upon the incestuous abomination that appears to link Big Government, Big Media, and /Big Business... and for us to feel it "uncomfortable" to offer disagreement to their words.
They wish the state of affairs to “appear” that if you stand against their shenanigans, “you” are the problem. The they use the same tiresome activist 101 tactics of attacking the messenger. Their reaction to the input of disagreement has become somewhat predictable, no?
Welcome to political theater.

Not one talks about "the game" as a symptom of the players... because their platforms
own their words.... (I'm looking at you TikTok. I expect terrible abuses from you.)
“I'm going to establish a world of commercial opportunities...” the political script says...
(It means he has a plan to get richer, and be a bigger star.)
“I'm going to end fraud waste and abuse!” (As long as there is a (D) in front of it...)
“I'm going to root-out the 'bad guys' from government” (So I can replace them with"my" people.)
I do recognize he is as much "of them" as he is "against them,"
but am a little befuddled by the 'surprise' angle of delivery by his detractors...
I think that's a media addition.
Almost everything politicians say is a line from a script.
