    So is your bog-standard Republican. All of Trump's initial appointees were bog-standard Republican, and the only got wiggy by the end after everything had been gutted(something btw that Biden hasn't actually done anything to fix in the interim).

    The only thing that Trump is bad at is the kayfabe of DC politics.

      That’s what P25 aims to fix.

      Also there was a ton of brain drain. Competent people don’t want to come back knowing that they might just get fired / made miserable under the next R President, so it’s hard to even fix these institutional problems in 4 years

        Then it's never going to happen! If the Democrats aren't ready by now, they will never be ready. There is absolutely no way in this system to guarantee that power doesn't change hands between the parties. Especially after Bush v. Gore, and the latest Supreme Court mandates. The train only goes one way.
