Caroline has been sucked in by the cult. She is obsessed with Trump and adores him, as incommodious as that may seem. She's the masochistic follower who feels a compulsion to be tested, abused, and forced to prove they are deserving of the leader's love over and over and over again. And like many of our parents and grandparents and friends, she's become unreachable, thanks to consuming petty grievances and an impenetrable media bubble.

That commission collapsed with nothing but blank pages in the section on voter fraud.

Congratulations indeed.

In the long term, Trump, if successful, may be able to replace disloyal appointees with loyal appointees, and may be able to attract loyalists to civil service positions.
