Trump's cabinet picks are just more proof that he's stacking the government with far-right ideologues instead of qualified public servants.
Honestly, it doesn't really matter who gets picked for these positions because the real issue is how much power they're going to have over our lives. Whether it's Gaetz or Rubio, the focus should be on shrinking the government's influence, not just swapping one set of politicians for another. We need to stop relying on these centralized, top-down structures altogether.
