5. It's the Trump tsunami of incompetence and malfeasance.
Tue Mar 25, 2025, 06:45 AM

This became apparent when he nominated a collection of anti-qualified and corrupt misfits to head (and destroy) important government agencies. It's obvious we are being dragged back to the Dark Ages by Trump and his henchmen. Their "governing philosophy" can only be described as neo-feudalism.

(Neo-feudalism is a rebirth of policies of governance, economy, and public life, reminiscent of those which were present in many feudal societies. Such aspects include, but are not limited to: Unequal rights and legal protections for common people and for nobility (oligarchs), dominance of societies by a small and powerful elite, a lack of social mobility, and relations of lordship and serfdom between the elite and the people, where the former are rich and the latter poor.)
