These are the folks who have been running our country for the past 5 years. The other party, congress, is a party of sycophants trying to upstage each other by their degree of sycophancy toward their party president that typically has come from a single family. In the current govt, its the "scientists" who try to out sycophant the other in legitimizing the current govt's beliefs to win favors. It helps them that a significant part of the population believes in that shit.
So here we are, caught betweent a rock and a hard place.
