Good faith or no, I’m tired of journos asking the “is there something to the premise” question about Musk/Trump. i.e. “Is there something to the premise that science could be done more efficiently?” No one says “I’m glad they eradicated smallpox, but I wish they’d done it with less bureaucracy.”

In the face of the most blatant corruption in modern history, I am struck by the continued lack of interest by Democrats & their flaks in using that word. Govt corruption has been an obvious issue for decades. It’s why “drain the swamp” resonated so. Voters see it. Feel it. Why can’t Dems say it?
