Even with some Democrats still playing the political game of statesmanship abandoned by the GOP thirty years ago, and with a 26% approval rate in Congress, both of which can look, to frustrated constituents, like a deliberate attempt to fail, it seems that Trump's incompetence, insanity, ignorance and demented ineptness will be the best strategy Democrats have looking forward to the midterm elections.

We have some of the most incredibly and unbelieveably unqualified, incompetent individuals running the major departments of our government as we have ever seen in our entire history, and that is saying a lot. We have Kristi Noem running the Department of Homeland Security thinking that a series of campaign television commercials, at taxpayer expense, is the way to keep the country safe from internal security problems. How safe is that making anyone feel? We have Hegseth in charge of the Defense Department, using it more as a platform for pseudo-Christian heretics and religious revivals than as a means of defending the country against its external enemies.

Does anyone really feel safe? If so, that's just because they are ignorant of the real danger, not because we are really safe.

The fact that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is holding down a government executive leadership post, and not holding down a bed in an insane asylum is, perhaps, the one position in the Trump administration that characterizes its inept incompetence more than any other. The other position which represents a deliberate attempt to engender wholesale disrespect and disregard for government and for the Constitution is having Pam Bondi serve as Attorney General. She is more clueless than Merrick Garland ever was, with a level of incompetence that would be dangerous if she actually showed up for work and did anything.

The question is, can we survive this disaster until the midterms will allegedly turn the tide, based on this polling data, and what will get people to pay attention? What caused the change between 2020, when they paid attention and kicked him out after his first term, and 2024, when so many voters who had supported Biden in 2020 just sat it out at home?
