Its not just bad policies, its poor management. Compare DeSantis and how he has handled the hurricanes to politicians like Newsom and Bass and the LA fires. Dems tend to be lifetime politicians whereas Reps tend to come from business. They like the attention, not the responsibility.
Now, NYC is going to elect a socialist with zero management or operational experience. The city is going to be a complete disaster.
As far as tearing down the whole east wing of the White House, I think its excessive and the timing makes for bad optics. However, like Trump said, "elections have consequences, and in case there is any doubt, I won"...oh, my bad that was Obama.
