The corruption, kleptocracy, extortions, executive branch favor factory - quid pro quo, in his first term is significant but small compared to what it will be in his second term (and third).

Imagine what 20,000 shock troops and what Project 2025 plans to do, and that's just for starters. The infiltration will be much, much more extensive with vetted loyalists. Imagine Steven Miller or Steve Bannon cloned 10,000 times.

Objectively, one could conclude, from the evidence, that is what GOPer's want. It's part of the winning formula for them. If you can't own the Libs, then dominate them.

I've said before that Trump is just the front-man, the cover or distractor from the corporations and oligarchs. Some key parts from the OP linked article:

LIKE CON MEN everywhere, our president relies on misdirection, using words to distract from deeds. Every bit of airtime or mental space claimed by one of his performances is attention deflected from his government and the actions of his appointees—the former coal lobbyist charged with protecting our air and water, the pharma executive guiding health care policy, the oil lobbyist at the Department of the Interior, the Raytheon lobbyist at the Department of Defense, the telecom lawyer chairing the Federal Communications Commission, the ex–Goldman Sachs lawyer (married to an ex–Goldman Sachs executive) heading up the Securities and Exchange Commission, the ex–Goldman Sachs partner directing the Treasury Department, the shipping heiress running the Transportation Department, the private equity tycoon holding down the Commerce Department, and the auto industry lobbyist over at Energy. That’s a partial list.

“One of the overarching narratives of the Trump administration is the total handover of the levers of government to corporations, and particularly the empowering of corporate representatives to oversee the very companies they worked for,” says Robert Weissman, the president of Public Citizen, the venerable and still-toothy ethics watchdog. “That is the defining story of this administration, and it’s been badly underreported and underappreciated due to the whole Trump circus. It’s more extreme than anything we’ve seen. It’s all-pervasive. It includes a lot of examples that look like parodies.”

You sound like those who believed 9/11 was government inside job
