Makes sense. One nationalist dipshit leader could be written off as a fluke, even if they'd gotten a consecutive term. Now America tried something else and then went back to the nationalist dipshit.
By this point, it's clear that it's foolishly optimistic to assume they'll think of it in the next election, either. Fox News will spend the next year bleaching any memory of it from their brains.
Once again, I am not arguing the morality of what the administration did or what the employees should do in response. Only the practicality. The process for squeezing the government for a non-standard work arrangement will take months and probably involve legal battles. These people have lives to get back to.
I'm not arguing with you, just pointing out that it's not a simple thing. Most people, maybe all of them, will just take their old job back, or go elsewhere.
I don't know the guy's politics, and I don't care to know them, but if you have a super generic, easily replaceable export, you should avoid presidents who fuck around, because you'll be the one who finds out.
It's too early to take the black pill. All that's needed for the House to be a check on the executive is 1 republican to cross the aisle. The less popular Trump is, the easier that gets.
The fact that 4 supreme court justices signed onto "A judge shouldn't have the power to order the president to spend money the way congress told him to, as explicitly described in the constitution" is terrifying. Wholly unsurprising, but terrifying.
Fox news was unironically using that as a defense of Trump a few days ago.
