Board libs operate under the illusion that no matter who wins an election, the Deep State is supposed to stay in place and be allowed to just pretend the democrat won.
Oh, I don't think that's true.
I think that we do realize that no matter who wins the Presidential election, most of the nation's policies and priorities have been and continue to be set by Congress. Congress controls the budget and all the nation's laws - and establishing and governing the agencies that implement those laws.
When there's a Presidential election, it changes who is in charge of implementing those laws - but does not change them. Nor the budget.
Now, that ain't nuthin', as they say. The President has enormous influence in how the federal government implements the laws, and in some areas has a lot of flexibility in deciding what to focus on. And a new President can push Congress to change some of the laws, or to revise what the budget provides.
But Trump isn't the only one who won an election this past January. The Democrats won enough seats in the House and the Senate to keep the status quo on anything that the GOP doesn't 100% agree on. The President doesn't have the Constitutional authority to just do what he wants anyway, simply because he prefers to focus only on the election he won and not the 215 elections his party lost in the House or the 17 they lost in the Senate.
