His greatest mistake was hiring people more loyal to the country than to him. That’s his take-away from the experience. And half the country is fine with that and wants him to get another shot at it.
Fuck.
That would be one of the central problems of fascism. People are hired based on loyalty first, and competence a distant second. On top of that, the fundamental worship of power in fascism means everyone is trying to be powerful, so nobody is all that loyal, anyway.
It will always fall apart because of this, but it can also kill everyone else in the process.
Well, yeah, that would be a problem in most cases. Why did he do that? Is he still doing that? Will he do it again if he is reelected? How would he know if they are loyal before hiring them?
It’s self filtering. Anyone that’s watched the last 8 years of throwing each and every one of his cronies under the bus, but still jumps at the chance to be next will be loyal enough, at least until he can’t use them anymore.
He didn’t expect to win in 2016. He’s been gearing up for this one with a completely different outlook.
The Heritage Foundation has made the plan, selected the appointees, sealed the deal. He will barely have to make any personnel decisions. It’s fucking terrifying because it will work so well instead of the constant chaos of last time.
