Nothing scary about this at all.

This might be the normal Trump tactic of floating horrible ideas, so don’t be surprised if it comes back later.
It’s easier to tear something down than to build something up.
On the off chance America ever has a presidential election again, whoever wins is gonna have a gargantuan job of fixing everything this asshole has dismantled.
The damage being done this time around isn’t fixable in a single term even with full congressional support.
True, but more precisely it’s an order of magnitude harder to build than it is to destroy. Should there be a democratic administration after this they will find it impossible to put all these pieces back together in 4 years, and will get blamed for it like they always do, and lose again.
The right has put themselves into a position where destruction and failure are a future political asset for them.
Yeah, I don’t honestly know how we could ever fix it. Because what do you even focus on? Fixing the system? Providing relief for those suffering?
Republicans sure as shit would die before doing either and Democrats aren’t effective most of the time. And when they try to be, every fucking thing gets blocked by shit bag Republicans.
The system has to be rebuilt. Take the parts that worked, ditch the stuff that didn’t. Overhaul everything.
It’s how the country was founded. It’s not impossible. It’s just a big, big task.
2 party system, heh… But worry not – soon it will be one country, one religion and one Trump.
See it like this: the US actually was drowning in corruption, whoever is next will have the chance to build something good the right way, from the ground up
