      I think it's more complicated. Usually the incompetence is a blessing but there are ways it could lead to real disaster and get a lot of people killed (as it has in Puerto Rico).

          Not clear to me that a competent racist would do things any different. Has the feel of New Orleans where they slow-walk the recovery and shut down all the schools and then it eventually comes back as a playground for rich white professionals

          How much of this is planned? In NYC/NJ Hurricane Sandy destroyed White working class beach towns/neighborhoods. These areas are now being repopulated and gentrified by a more affluent and DIVERSE demographic.

          And as per usual, the most accurate take is more nuanced, & most likely will garner the least likes. here, let me try adding a bug-eyed puppy pic:pic.twitter.com/Tq28ftYdMa

          What is truly terrifying is the idea of a competent Trump who was friendlier with the national security establishment and knew how to use them. Mattis for all his faults is keeping that at bay as near as I can tell. We wont get that lucky again.
