ProPublica has a list of executive orders and rules that the president has been putting into place for at least the last few months. Now that Biden has won, there seems to be greater urgency in smashing as many of these poison pills as possible into force before Jan. 20. Because inquiring minds want to know, here are some of them to exemplify the quiet toxicity the president is unleashing on the American people. To people with an open mind, these clearly show that the president works mostly for special interests and wealthy people, including himself personally (see the pending showerhead efficiency standards rule change), often to the detriment of regular Americans, the environment and/or consumers. There are more of these nasty gems at the ProPublica link.
Pragmatic politics focused on the public interest for those uncomfortable with America's two-party system and its way of doing politics. Considering the interface of politics with psychology, cognitive science, social behavior, morality and history.
Etiquette
DP Etiquette
First rule: Don't be a jackass.
Other rules: Do not attack or insult people you disagree with. Engage with facts, logic and beliefs. Out of respect for others, please provide some sources for the facts and truths you rely on if you are asked for that. If emotion is getting out of hand, get it back in hand. To limit dehumanizing people, don't call people or whole groups of people disrespectful names, e.g., stupid, dumb or liar. Insulting people is counterproductive to rational discussion. Insult makes people angry and defensive. All points of view are welcome, right, center, left and elsewhere. Just disagree, but don't be belligerent or reject inconvenient facts, truths or defensible reasoning.
