Electile Dysfunction (Current students plz look!)

I dont think we have been in a situation where the administration has tried to dismantle the institutions built to serve the American people from the inside out

May I have some examples?

call me out here if i'm wrong, but just off the cuff:

i'm trying to remember the last time a president installed a former attorney as EPA Chief who made a career on suing the EPA and then started deregulating the things that made the "protections" part of EPA a thing, as fast as he possibly could.  oops he was corrupt as shit, but no worries though, we have a former coal lobbyist in his place now.  i'm sure that has nothing to do with energy donors asking for rollbacks on protections.

also Devos, education secretary that wants to privatize and defund public education, which is sort of the opposite of how you solve problems in that department.  you can tell she's super passionate about education though, because of the way she is.  she definitely got the job because she's qualified, not because she's a huge GOP donor.

and we all love Ajit Pai, faithfully serving all big comm lobbyists, please form a line and pay up.  net neutrality is a very recent issue in our nation's history, but i've never seen an FCC gatekeeper more eager to throw the needs of the people under the bus.  or did i miss a worse case of this?  again, the only reasonable explanation is greed and donors asking for rollbacks in a time when we still have areas of the country that can't get access to basic high speed internet, and frankly, you gotta have that to educate and do commerce now.

and those are just a few people.  i'm still amazed at how the impeachment process went, with the massive obstruction on the GOP's side, under Trump's specific command in many cases.  Just a mockery of the process at large, one meant to serve the people in every way i can think of.
