The first lesson of Whiggism was "the legislature must control the power of the purse."
The first lesson of classical market liberalism was "trade wars are bad."
The lesson of the first crisis of the 1787 American constitution was "the Alien and Sedition Acts are bad."

Those who fail to study mumble mumble mumble...
Whiggish interests dominated the GOP through G.W. Bush.
But, Trumpism conquered the GOP thanks to MAGA and its Lost Cause DNA.
What we are experiencing really is this ambitious.
Trump believes he is powerful with all of these forces seeking his cooperation.
He thinks he is smarter than all of them and HE will win over everyone.
But, they are all opportunists at this moment too.
But, no one thinks TRUMP is forever or that he is smart.
In some ways, they're all taking advantage of his personality disorder at our cost.
But, he is willing to destroy, and that benefits many different forces and individuals.
- the many assassinations
- the confluence of the anti-war movement with the civil rights movement
- the Democratic Party became democratically chosen after an internal shift
- the Dems and Republicans became ideological parties

Ideally, if Musk wants to fire thousands of executive civil service employees, Congress should be snatching them up!
It will totally work this time tho. Also, stealing.
