Yeah, I'm afraid of this. I'm afraid of the US ending up being a husk of a nation akin to Russia. The worst Kushner-style parasites would do is mold the US into China, which at least resembles a functioning nation.
This current lot wants to steal and sell anything not bolted to the foundation and then sell the foundation to the highest bidder.
Maybe if he does enough damage and everyone really feels it for a while it will change things. I've always said the only way politics will change is if the Republicans actually get their way for once. Well they're getting their way now. Even Trump's first term was mostly the same as earlier conservatives--a tax cut and then pretty much nothing. This is just all of their extreme desires being carried out. Every republican is going to feel it.
GW Bush was president for 5 years with a Republican House and Senate. Worth noting the entire global economy melted down toward the end of that period. So it's not like this hasn't happened before. Somehow they managed to re-frame that time period as "That time Democrats made a bunch of poors buy houses they couldn't afford" and their followers actually deeply believe that narrative.
