if political loyalty replaces merit as the basis of key federal appointments, Americans can expect government to be less competent – as Andrew Jackson learned during his administration
The aim in a 2nd term for Trump would be to immediately politicize thousands of government positions that are apolitical and require years of education and experience to be competent. The administration felt hampered by being told “no” and “that’s illegal” and “we can’t do that” by so many of these long-standing staffers that they want to sweep away more than just cabinet and executive positions, but also thousands of jobs that literally keep the government going. It’s a GOP wet dream… say that the government is useless and inefficient to get into office and implement changes that make those claims true. But beyond that, it immediately sets up even more executive power which has been their aim since Nixon.
Or to put it into perspective, the US president, thanks to the Supreme Court, now has all the power Hitler needed a false flag operation and emergency powers for. Step 2 in establishing a fascist system is always putting loyalists in key positions and jailing (better: killing) any opposition.
Project 2024 is really just Projekt 1933 with a fresh coat of paint.
None of this would even be necessary if the Dems hadn’t weaponized these agencies against their political opponents. The Russia investigation was a hoax to interfere in the election in 2016. Then in 2020 they interfered in election by signing a letter saying the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation even though the fbi already had the laptop in their possession. The only media outlets that weren’t in collusion with them were the New York Post, Fox News, Newsmax, basically the same news outlets that told us the truth about the Russia hoax.
only far far worse

We desperately need the Devil Dog today.

Thousands of government and military positions. Don’t believe for a second that he’d restrict himself to civilian agencies and bureaucracies.
