We are a society and not a business or army.
Many small chiefs have to win many battles.
This is a good observation. We have seen GOP govs, even conservatives like Abbott, falter in the face of the China Virus.
Others, like Douchey and DeWeenie, merely exposed themselves as RINOs all along. But it is a problem. The Constitution calls for federalism, which Trump has observed. Yet now we hae conservatives calling for more top-down control
You can’t have it both ways. This is in reality a sobering defeat of democracy by fear.
