The democratic admin will be scapegoated for literally anything. As soon as the current admin is out the door the standards reset and it's back to outrage about "tan suits" and "saluting with coffee".

Probably because they will, with their own pet projects. The idea that there's a huge difference between the Republican and Democratic parties is a fantasy. Democrats are new wealth, profiteering from government inefficiency, while Republicans are old wealth who profiteer from the same things they always have. Some would say I'm cynical, but I believe I'm just old.

My sense is that republicans prefer to concentrate the pork to the ownership class, while the democrats want the waste distributed to a broader voting base.
