What's remarkable about the war on the Postal Service is how it's kind of the apotheosis of Trumpism.
- It treats government services as something that must benefit Trump or it shouldn't exist.
- It's unconstitutional, as the post office is in the Constitution.
- It is built on naked partisanship over public service.
- It is a continuation of the Republican war on public goods.
- It is buttressed by lies, lies and then some more lies.
Today, the odious shitstain Trump put in charge of the Postal Service has said he didn't do the things he definitely did. What's amazing is the claim that they took out sorting machines to "save money." How does that work? Do machines at the post office have salaries? Benefits? In what possible world does disconnecting a machine you already bought save money?
I don't think the war on voting will necessarily work. The screwed up by doing it so early and so publicly. States and individuals can adapt.
Instead, we will get Pure Trumpism. Needless immiseration for no real partisan gain. Social Security checks will be late. Mail order medications won't arrive on time. Items ordered from retailers won't arrive when needed. And it won't throw the election to Trump.
