I don't think that this list of fears justifies bothering to run the
country. There is not enough money in all of that together, those are
all small incremental operations (and the morality thing will be the
cost center, not the profit one.) Plus there would be no desperate
attacks on the new administration if this was the case - this would be
sticking with the old program (except morality - but no one in the
ruling circles gives a flying f*ck about about the morality issues -
that's bone to be thrown to the masses and effects exploited.)
It's more likely that the shift will involve channeling revenue (tax)
into domains that felt neglected in the past few decades and switch the
set of the people at the top of the hierarchy.

seriously, the plan to privatize public land, the plan to drill and
drill, regardless of carbon cycles; the plan to legislate morality on
sodomizers and abortionists (forget twee pc self-naming practices - all
one world - einz Welt fur alles?, right?)
