Conservatives are on a mission to dismantle the US government and replace it with Trump's vision - Lemmy.world

Anyone that thinks the Orange Buffoon has a plan other than get as much cash from the marks as possible is willfully ignoring the obvious.
It’s the people behind him we have to worry about. Like the Fedlist society.
Indeed, Trump is just the rodeo clown to distract the public from the cowboys trying to hogtied them.

Douglas Adams called it in The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy:

The President in particular is very much a figurehead — he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it. On those criteria Zaphod Beeblebrox is one of the most successful Presidents the Galaxy has ever had — he has already spent two of his ten presidential years in prison for fraud.

Douglas Adams was the much needed satirical wrecking ball of “organized society”. I miss him so much.
