You might enjoy this - a post-Trump dream, by Rick Wilson.
The first thing you notice, walking into the West Wing on a June day in 2030, is how quiet it is.
Not the quiet of paranoia and Dear Leader guerrilla warfare that defined the kill-or-be-killed ethos of the prior Administration’s intramural warfare.
It’s the quiet of competence. The quiet of people who know what they’re doing and don’t need to spend the day screeching about it on social media.
There are no aides using ChatGPT to concoct the perfect lib-owning tweet. No 24/7 Fox feed of cable talking heads glibly lying from every screen. The day’s agenda wasn’t set by a 2 a.m. social media tantrum that detonates the day before the Usher’s office brings in the excellent coffee.
