I fear this is the point. Fit the government. Create multiple crises. Then the “only” thing that can “save” us is his and his cronies continued power. It’s the playbook of every single autocrat. God help us.
Purging the Government Could Backfire Spectacularly
Donald Trump might miss the bureaucrats when the next crisis hits.

Remember when they were passing the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) and republicans made up lies about how there would be government death panels denying care?
All we did is let mega-corporations form the panels. Currently denied prescription? Children’s antacid. They want $500 for Prilosec.

“Afraid of suffering and lacking good deeds
We have betrayed you before humankind.
We saw the Lie raise its head
And failed to pay homage to Truth.
We saw others in their direst need
And our own death is all we feared.”
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer. July 1944
