    Are they appointing the most incompetent people they can as an insult to America? It sure looks that way from the outside. This is kakistocracy.

      The US is insulting itself. Trump should have been a joke the first time and they elected him twice. This is just a consequence of their actions.

      This is part of authoritarian fascism.

      Authoritarianism prizes loyalty far more than ability. You get appointed because you are bending the knee.
