    I believe it’s only done to blame others, if there’ll be a democratic government in the next decade they’ll point and jeer “Look at how many pandemic, medical and environmental deaths there are now, while under maga we had none!”

    They’ll also claim that under maga’s light rules and regulations the economy did better, cheaper cars because they can “pollute” more, cheaper food because of less restrictions on added chemicals etc.

    It’s always been to shift responsibility for negative effects forward.

      It’s more insidious than that. Imagine the next democratic government inheriting this mess. They re-open science, education, and oversight departments, who discover shock that things are really bad. MAGA will say, “See, things are bad under YOUR leadership! Can’t blame us!”.
