The Trump Cabinet

The Dunning-Kruger Effect, as many know, is the observation that some Americans are too stupid to notice they are stupid. They vote against their own interests. They've elected Trump twice. 

In Trump's first term, more rational people, including key Republicans, managed things around the Orange Face in ways that partly mitigated his incompetence and cruelty. The consequence was that Trump got elected again. 

The voters had learned nothing from the first term.

Should we try to mitigate the second-term disaster by opposing his cabinet choices? A few people argue that we should stand aside and let nature take its course.  How else will voters learn?

Americans chose a stupid, degenerate fascist to lead western civilization. He's staffing his cabinet with know-nothing, brain-wormed drunkards.  

Given Trump's choices, innocent people will suffer. Of course, that will happen anyway. 

Disaster--maybe a sweeping climate or economic collapse--seems possible. But no one knows what is coming at us.
