They get to say "screw you" to the rest of the country and wallow in the degradation of it at the same time by choosing someone so obviously unworthy. It makes the rebuke to their fellow citizens stronger and preempts the inevitable reckoning.
It preempts the reckoning on their culpability for the consequences, which they carelessly own, but leaves the consequences themselves to us. I expect more will come in the way of the Bush tax cuts: vile and nearly impossible to get rid of.
What kind of lunatic would Trump appoint to the Supreme Court? At least we know Trump is crazy going in. With Bush it was thought that he was relatively harmless and that we, the country, would just be a big-ass version of the Texas Rangers.
But look at what happened, a lasting legacy of pain. Countries are not playthings to be purchased to occupy wayward sons. But thank your stars you weren't born an Iraqi. The neocons would have had it out for you. The economy is another thing.
It was selectively and systematically trashed. The rich get richer with such predictability it's hard to imagine that it will ever end. How concentrated can the wealth get? A continuation of that, more than anything else, is the expected Trumpian legacy.
