Turning the nation into one big company town/store.
I mean, half of America voted for Trump in 2016 because he campaigned on “Running America like a business”.
Credit where credit is due, it took 10 years but he completely hit on his campaign promise. Probably just not how the majority of his voters expected it, but 100% exactly how the rest of us saw it coming.
I am so very tired of every politician running on being a successful businessman. Government doesn’t exist to turn a damn profit. All “businessman” means is that they’ll continue to sell us out to their buddies.
And no, his voters didn’t expect it to turn out this way. They thought they were part of the club. They expected to be invited to the party, rather than just footing the bill. Now that it’s clear they won’t be, all the GOP can offer them is punishing people they hate. And for far too many of them, that’s still enough justification to win their support.
