But you however choose to avoid qualitative comment to my concern for said real harm caused if one takes the totality of the chaos fostered by our elected leader and his one oligargic puppeteer.

Bush II once said after 9/11 of folks lining up in 2 groups those with and those against taking the fight to the our attackers. The current path allows for that same distinction to be made here. Pergra to walk that line trying to find something better than your “not really” to apply to harm as it relates to the totality of his actions.
The project 2025 playbook could not be defended and still win those few votes, so the cocksure old fool was savvy enough to not defend. Seems that playbook is now the standing OP ORDER of the term

I ignored the qualitative because the OP I was calling out wasn’t discussing higher concepts.

As of right now the “chaos” is a lot of noise and blustering.

To be clear I don’t like said chaos but as of right now it’s noise.

So far Trump and Co. have achieved nothing of note, it’s all window dressing. USAID is now part of the State Department, BFD. (If USAID was a bit more focused on it’s primary responsibility and less on DEI nonsense it wouldn’t have been a target.) Deportation is nibbling at the edges so far. Tariffs were imbecilic but ultimately amounted to a fart in the wind.
