One of the disturbing things from Trump & Co's assault on government and democracy is just how much depends on "norms". We are disturbingly vulnerable there.

We’ve relied on the idea that our government was staffed, by in large, by honorable people.

And in those instances when someone acted in a dishonorable fashion, there were enough honorable people around to act as guardrails.

“I’ll always pick the best people!” he said.

Well, we saw what that got us.

When loyalty to a person becomes the prime criterion for hiring…. that’s exactly what you get.

Government service has been so demonized that we shouldn’t be surprised when only the demons apply for the job.
